Ingredients

  • 200 chocolate dark 70% (we used cocoa content)
  • pinch chili powder hot
  • serving edible gold dust red (we used splatcooking.com)
  • 200 chocolate green with extra cocoa butter)
  • tsp sea salt 
  • 25 pistachios finely chopped
  • 200 chocolate white
  • serving rose hips (we used squires-shop.com)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan

Directions

  1. For the dark chilli drops: break the chocolate into chunks and melt in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, line a few flat baking trays with baking parchment. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the chilli powder. Use a teaspoon to drop drops of the chocolate onto the baking parchment. Every 10 or 20 drops, scatter over a small amount of red glitter before the chocolate sets. Leave to set in a cool place, but do not put in the fridge.
  2. For the salted pistachio drops: melt the chocolate and prepare baking parchment as before. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in the salt, then make drops as above, topping with chopped pistachios.
  3. For the white chocolate drops: carefully melt the chocolate as above. Make drops, as above. Once they are partially set, top each with a crystallised rose petal.
