Sweet Factory

On last week of term I made these tempting delights for five of my friends because I'm moving on to secondary school - wow!

Firstly I attempted making some honey fudge (a different recipe to the only time I've made fudge before). The result was a delicious but unset mess!

I boiled it again and it set slightly better but still quite sticky, so I cut it into small squares and dipped some in melted chocolate and put the others in truffle cases. I thought that the contrast between the sweetness of the toffee and the slightly bitter taste of the dark chocolate covering went really well.

Next I made some peppermint creams (which are almost entirely icing sugar!). They would have been really easy to make but I was wearing special nail varnish to stop me biting my nails (it was specially designed to taste disgusting) so I had to wear rubber gloves to knead the mixture. Then I half dipped them in melted chocolate and piped patterns on to them, I even wrote a message (below).

Ruth I will miss you!

Finally I made some origami boxes out of wall paper and lined them with tissue paper.
