What you need:
- Chocolate block
- Icing powder
- Water
- Peppermint essence
- Sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- Food colouring
- Freezer bag
First make up some icing, you probably won’t need very much so just stick some icing powder into a bowl, measuring is for suckers ;)
Add a little peppermint essence:
I really wish these stupid bottles came with dropper tops, it’s quite hard to get the right amount out *_*
Add a few drops of food colouring if you want.
Mix together and if needed add a few drops of water at a time until it’s a consistency you can pipe.
Mine was a bit too runny so watch out for that!
Take a break and have a cup of tea because you’ve worked hard so far :P
Now you need to cut a piece of chocolate to use as the canvas. If you’re like me you probably cheaped out and bought the home brand chocolate so don’t expect too much quality-wise ;)
Decide how much chocolate you will use based on how much you love the person you’re giving it to. I’m giving mine to James… this much?
Hell no I’m not giving away that much chocolate! Realistic:
I love him but I also love chocolate! Unrepentant!
Pour the icing into a corner of the freezer bag.
Snip a tiny corner off so it becomes a make shift piping bag… or you could just use a real one.
Now pipe on a pretty design :D I wrote “James” and drew a heart… unfortunately I was a little over ambitious with the S so it looks more like “Jimmy”…
…then it melted a bit so it looked more like Jsmnay.
I piped around the outside too as a border.
While the icing is still wet add sprinkles all over it.
And brush off any extras.
He loves little marshmallows so using some more icing like glue I made a border of them.
Taadaa…
And because it already looked pretty hilarious I added some more icing on top. I’m deleting all of the inappropriate comments James keeps trying to add in here about what it really looks like.
So stick it in the fridge to set and add a cute bag!
Present for you!
Taaadaaaa! I love you Jsmnay! Even if sometimes I’m not sure why…
-_-’
So I’m sure if you were better at baking/decorating you would be able to draw something actually cute on there! And hopefully the person you give yours to won’t be silly enough to try and eat the cute bag. Happy Food Friday!

I always make some kind of chocolate for Husband on Valentine’s Day, and I think it was two years ago I made this one! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/Puregirlblue/Vdaychoco.jpg I used melted chocolate for the “glue” on mine. It was really intense to make with all the little details but SO much fun! SECRETLY I hope to get this kit for this year: http://www.strapya-world.com/products/41482.html

I made the hat and bought the apron, I did a tutorial on it a couple of weeks ago :D
Haha that was such a cute tutorial.
Jsmnay is lucky to have you :)
That Jsmnay is a great guy mwahaha!
I love the idea!! It would be great if you shared how you made your chef hat and your apron.
The apron was bought but I did a little tutorial on the chef’s hat last week :D
This is so adorable!
Hehe, I love the “HELL NO!” and silly pictures.

Even the imperfections are perfect when you do them. You are too cute! Thanks I needed that dose.
:D Thanks Piper <3
this is totally un- retaliated to your post but..
What do u use to dye ur hair the different shades of pink?
I do mine all the time as well but ive never really done the whole “fade” color look and im thinking of giving it a try.
I use manic panic or splat.
I used to use Wakk Stain but it was discontinued so now I’m using Paintbox which I don’t really like. I did a complete rundown on my technique a few weeks ago :D
oh you should try manic panic.I’ve never had any problems with that product and its decently priced. It last about 6 washings before it fades (not counting that first almighty wash) i live by that stuff. Altogether it can last up to 8-12 weeks depending on color choice reds and pinks tend to last alot longer. The thing i love most about it is its healthy for your hair and not tested on animals :)
That sounds really awesome!
“I love you Jsmnay!” Haahahahahah lol
What a beautiful present paper!
Haha I’ve started calling him that in real life too ^_^
