Day 3 of #Blogmas | Christmas Chocolate Explosion.

Hello, Hello, Hello.

Have you ever scrolled through Facebook and past the depressing statuses, spam pages that you don't remember following and the odd friendship tag you find absolute Food Porn??

Well this is what happened here and usually I think how on earth am I supposed to make that (??) but this is super easy and straight forward without the need of cooking or baking and I'm going to show you exactly how to make it.

Here's what you need:

1 x Terry's Chocolate Orange

2 x Malteasers Treat Bag 

1 x Milk Chocolate

1 x White Chocolate

Red and Green icing

Step 1: 

Unwrap your Terry's Chocolate Orange and rest it in a glass. This will keep it steady so it won't be rolling around all over the place.

Step 2:

Break off half of your milk chocolate into single squares and melt it either in the microwave or on the stove. This will be used as the glue to stick on your Malteasers to the Chocolate Orange.

Step 3:

Take one Malteaser at a time and dip it into the melted chocolate and carefully stick to the Chocolate Orange. Repeat this step until you cover the top half.

Step 4: 

If your Malteasers are being a nuisance and not staying in place, stick it in the fridge for 30 seconds. Once you have finished the top half pop it back in the fridge for a couple of minutes to allow the chocolate to harden slightly.

Step 5:

Take the chocolate back out and turn it upside down, rest it in the glass again and repeat Step 3 until your Orange is completely covered and it's looking something like this. (this is where I failed originally and had to run up the shop for more Malteasers!)

Step 6:

Pop it back in the fridge for it to set and start on your topping. This is where you can decide how much white chocolate you want on top. I personally melted half a bar but I think the whole bar might have been more effective in appearance but either way, melt your white chocolate exactly the same as you did the milk.

Step 7:

Once completely melted, take your chocolate orange malteaser ball out of the fridge and pour the white chocolate all over the top. Then leave it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.

Step 8:

This is where you can get creative which is an area that I very much lack in, so this was my failed attempt at a holly. But you can do whatever you like but the red and green icing are a must, festive colours rule yaaay!

And that's it!! Easy as pie and choc-tastic! An amazing alternative if Christmas Pudding isn't your thing!

Happy making!
