How to:

Make chocolate decorations

Gently melt dark chocolate over a low heat or in a double boiler. Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small nozzle. Pipe a circle onto lightly greased baking paper and fill it in with chocolate scrolls.

Refrigerate to set before removing carefully from the baking paper. Use to give a flourish to festive desserts or as tempting Christmas ornaments.
