Strawberry Creams yummy..

Hello all..thanks for the lovely comments about enjoying our break..we certainly will..we can relax for a little while..the girls have had a good day doing bits and bobs and coming to the shop with me.
So this afternoon we decided to make some chocolate goodies..i found a great recipe for Peppermint Creams..but i fancied Strawberry Creams..i have been looking for some Strawberry flavouring for ages..i finally found some in Home Bargains for 59p..so i got 2 of them.
The recipe actually made 54 but we won't eat that many so i halved it..we still had a lot and my house smelt of Strawberries for a while.
Here is my halved recipe..
28 grams of butter
1-2 tablespoons of milk
1/4 teaspoon of flavouring
few drops of food colouring
227 grams of icing sugar
bar of nice chocolate..milk or plain or even white ..its your choice.

Get 2 trays ready with greaseproof paper..

 In a large pan melt your butter with the milk,flavouring and colouring..do not bring it to the boil though

 Add the icing sugar when it has cooled down a little..mix it well and form into a soft ball. If not add either more milk or icing sugar..mix it with hands to make it more pliable.

 Turn onto a board with icing sugar on it

 Iris was Chief Taste Tester..i did add a little more flavouring and mix it more.
We rolled it out and cut out shapes..we did this about 3 times using just about every bit of it.

I had no Greaseproof Paper left.

 We melted our chocolate and then dipped them in it..i forgot to take a picture of this..we did about 8 in Dark Chocolate and the rest in Milk Chocolate..pop them in the fridge til set..we then put them in a jar but this one was spare so we tested it..i love the pink colouring i think i got it right..was worried i may end up with Blood Red ones lol...

 We are keeping them in the fridge and they will be brought out as a treat after Christmas Lunch..when you have that sit down after washing up ..

 Have you made any chocolate treats for Christmas?
