He loved it Jo. He was really surprised - he knew I was making something but couldn't even contemplate thats what it was.
It took a couple of whacks to break it and when it did all the skittles shot out.
I had kept lots of sweets in their packets (mini Haribo's) but put two big packets of skittles in (not in packets).
The chocolate tastes lovely - definitely made a difference using proper chocolate rather than cooking chocolate.
I'm dropping the mould off at a friends later as she wants to make one for her daughter's 16th birthday next month and another friend then wants to borrow it for her sons 13th in February. I should charge for hiring it out.
