  These are wonderfully easy and look very impressive, I made them for a group of very discerning ladies and they were highly praised.

  Made these as a birthday present for my sister, which she loved. I didn't use the dried fruits or orange, but instead added a splash of Baileys to the cream. It tasted gorgeous with both the white and dark chocolate :)

  I made these for my sons nursery teachers when he left. I think went down very well. We did manage to taste a few and we all liked them. Ideal for Christmas presents too!

  Delicious! I made these with my 10 year old for some friends for after dinner and they received lots of compliments. My friends husband loved them so much she asked for the recipe. They were both happy because she likes white chocolate and he likes dark! They looked really impressive in their little paper cases, didn't look homemade at all, I couldnt believe I'd made them. I don't think they need the fruit or zest, I made them with lemon shortbread and they tasted amazing. I did microwave the melting mixture for 20 to 30 seconds to just smooth out the last of the chocolate and mine only took 2 hours to set. Will make these again and again.

  Inadvertently used half the amount of chocolate (dark only as I couldn�t find any white), am guessing they came out a bit softer as a consequence, but not half bad. Dusted them in half and half cocoa and icing sugar as I�d used quite bitter/strong chocolate.
