Chocolate Shards (cake topper)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 150 g Milk chocolate
- 100 g White chocolate
- An assortment of tiny toppings such as strands, granola, chocolate jazzies, chocolate curls
Instructions
- To make the chocolate shards, brake up both white and milk chocolate into separate bowls and melt. You can do this by placing the bowl over a simmering pan of water for a couple of minutes or using a microwave and stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the milk chocolate onto the tray and smooth with a spatula,
- Then drizzle the white chocolate over the top and using a skewer swirl the two chocolates together.
- Before the chocolate sets add on your choice of tiny toppings, I used what I had to hand which were chocolate strands, granola, chocolate jazzies, chocolate curls, and mini smarties. But you can use whatever you like the skies the limit.
- Place the tray into the fridge to cool and set. Once it's set, cut your chocolate into shards. I found it easier to cut the chocolate using my rocking pizza cutter.
