Chocolate Orange and Malteser Christmas Pudding

Hey guys, so today I wanted to share with you one of my Christmas baking ideas. This is so quick & 

 easy and makes a great gift.

What you will need:

1, Terry's chocolate orange

2, Maltesers

3, Milk Chocolate

4, White Chocolate

5, something which resembles the leaves  and berries for the top. I used two green jelly frogs and Haribo Tangfastics cherry's for the berries.

Method:

1, Melt the Milk chocolate, I did this by putting hot water into a pan, then placing a bowl on top with the chocolate in the bowl.

2, leave the chocolate to harden slightly so its not too runny, then dip half the malteaser in the chocolate and stick it on the chocolate orange keep doing this until it is fully covered. The trick I used was start it on the slant, then when you have done one side, leave them for a bit to stick into place then turn it over and do the other side, this is because it does take a bit of time for the malteaster to become fully stuck onto the chocolate orange.

3, Place  them into the fridge too harden. only for about 5-10 minutes.

4, Melt the white chocolate ( the same method as the milk chocolate) once melted leave it for about 5 minutes.

5,  Spoon a big drop of chocolate and put it on top of the  chocolate orange,( it doesn't matter if it is messy it is meant to look like that ;))

6, find a cute box to put them in, and that's it! such a cute idea, with such little effort ha ha

I hope you enjoyed today's post, please let me know any of your Christmas baking ideas I would love to hear them,

See you soon, Em x

DIY Christmas Crackers

Last night me and my sister made all my family members their own christmas crackers with their own personalised gift. So today I thought I would share with you this simple do it yourself craft which doesn't take too long at all.

what you will need:

wrapping paper

scissors

sellotape/glue
cracker snap
ribbon
decorations (Glitter, etc)

gift (plus extras such as hat and jokes)

empty toilet roll x 3 per cracker

pencil & ruler

what to do:

1. Once you've decided what paper you want to use cut yourself a square which is 30cm by 20cm.

2.  Once you done this measure 10cm from both sides and draw a line going down so that you can place the cracker snap in the middle. Once you've done this you can then tape your cracker snap in place.

3. Place your 3 toilet rolls onto the wrapping paper. Make sure you place any items (the above contains a lipstick) going into the cracker into the middle toilet roll. Then roll the wrapping paper around them. 

4. Once you've rolled the wrapping paper, gently move the outside toilet rolls out, so there is a small gap. Then twist the end and push it in. Then tie a piece of ribbon so that it will hold it's shape and repeat for the other side. 

5. Remove the outer toilet rolls completely and then decorate as you wish. 

Here's the video if my explanation is too confusing. 

Hope you liked this post. Let me know if you tried this...
