Making your own sweets is actually quite fun - children have a great time with this too. They are
also nice gifts if placed in a pretty box or packet.
Vegan chocolate - I recommend Maya Gold for these - it's orange spiciness is perfect for this time of year.
Nuts of your choice (hazel, walnut, pecan, almond, brazil)
Vegan marzipan (many supermarkets stock this)
Dates
Dessicated coconut
Cocoa
Icing sugar
Crystallized angelica
Glace cherries
Flaked almonds
It's very simple! Melt the chocolate and then dip things in it - nuts, marzipan balls, dates - and
then place them on a sheet of grease-proof paper to set. Decorate with angelica, glace cherries
(can be made to look like holly) and flaked almonds before the chocolate sets and then you can
sprinkle with cocoa, coconut or icing sugar.
Dates can be destoned and stuffed with marzipan for a non-chocolate treat.
Place in petit four cases and enjoy!
