I have coloured chocolate before, but I do remember the result being a little... grainy, colourwise. As luck would have it I decided to use the red candy chips instead. I guess that explains why the chips come in so many colours too...
Anyway.
I had fun making them, which was the important part.
As they are made from dough, the consistency is a little off. Compressed cake or soft biscuit. Still, I'll make proper biscuits if I make them again - making them out of Fun Dough was killing two birds with one stone.
The cutter worked well once I had it sussed out.
Practice was needed!
Oh, and you will see that trying to mix red and blue dough did not make purple. It made sinister. Still, someone will eat them.
As they were cooling on a rack on the kitchen table I heard a shout from Mum. Bloody Diz had jumped up, snagged one (taking another with him) and was eating it in the corner of the kitchen. Bad cat. Cats don't eat cakies!
Still, from what we could tell he only had one from the far end, so I professed the rest fit to eat. Well, what they don't see won't harm them, right? Ahem.
I had a little trouble in filling the wells. In the end I used a syringe (one with measurements up to 25ml for small quantities of cooking ingredients). It's not really supposed to be used for something this thick, but it sufficed. And I'm glad I decided to do them all red too. It was quite a bit of faffing about.
They are currently sat on top of the fridge/ freezer where monkey-face can't see them.
Once the centres harden I'll put them in a tin. Off to school tomorrow.
