Home made presents it’s not too late for..?

[UntamedShrew]

Any ideas?

I’m making my friend some Christmas pudding vodka and it’s made me think I wish I had made more rather than buying last-minute panic presents. Would like to make some things for my mum and mum in law but I am possibly running out of time. Any thoughts much appreciated - thank you.

Gnash is truffle filling made from chocolate and cream. Mine is 50/50 dark choc and double cream. Just bung it into the microwave for short bursts of 20 seconds until all melted together then refrigerate. It should firm to a mouldable consistency.

Take golfball size chunks and roll in your hands (very messy) to form a ball. Stab the ball firmly with a wooden fork or similar (imo fork works best) and stand them upright on greeceproof paper. I would prob refrigerate for a few minutes again at this point.

Melt chocolate(any) I use a microwave in short bursts. To temper you want to stop heating it while there are still solid chunks and stir it until all melted. Then dip you ball to completely cover the gnash, sitting them back down on the paper. I usually chuck some edible glitter on them at this point, quickly before they harden.

I wrap them in celephane once set, upright with the handle sticking out the top.[/quote]

How long do they last?
