    Strawberries & Cream Giant White Chocolate Buttons

    Ingredients: 

    • 150g good quality white chocolate
    • 20g freeze dried strawberries

    Method: 

    Line 2 baking trays with grease-proof or baking paper. Check the tray sizes first to make sure they will fit in your fridge!

    Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a microwave safe bowl.

    Chop the freeze dried strawberries into small pieces if needed, then place in a separate bowl until ready to use.

    Melt the chocolate pieces by cooking in the microwave for 30 second bursts, stirring between each one to ensure it melts evenly. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate, heat only until just melted and smooth.

    Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate onto the lined trays, swirling each one into a circle with the back of the spoon to create each giant chocolate button.

    Place the trays in the fridge and chill for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.

    Carefully peel each chocolate button from the paper lining then store in an airtight container somewhere cool until ready to serve.

    You could also pop the buttons in gift bags or boxes to give as gifts.

    Note: If the weather is very hot, as we are experiencing with the current heatwave, these buttons are best stored in the fridge until ready to serve or give as gifts.
