If you love decorating cakes and creating edible characters, you may have come across modelling chocolate, a sweet, pliable chocolate dough that can be shaped, sculpted, and moulded into all kinds of decorations. I’ve recently had the chance to put modelling chocolate to the test in a rather big way: I made and wrote a book where every character was created out of modelling chocolate and every prop and background scene was made out of candy. Really.

Ok, I know they don’t really look that different than the rice crispy squares we know and love, but hear me out! The proof is in the taste. I’ve scratch made the marshmallows and amped up the flavour with browned butter, vanilla and of course, salt to make a very bougie version of a rice crispy square.

If you are looking for something just a bit different (and extra), give this one a try!

These homemade honey drops are a simple, soothing treat made with real honey, perfect for stirring into tea, easing a scratchy throat, or enjoying anytime you want something sweet. While honey drops are often used during coughs or colds, they don’t need a reason to be enjoyed. Smooth, comforting, and easy to make, they’re just as lovely on a cozy afternoon as they are during cold season.
