I just Wanna Bake - Homemade Jazzies

I very belated Happy New Year!

This weeks sweet recipe is a super simple one, but such a favourite of mine - the ever yummy Jazzie! 
Ingredients:
100g White Chocolate 
Hundred and Thousands 
(Milk and Dark Chocolate also work wonders)
Firstly line a tray with grease proof paper, or two trays depending upon your desired quantity. Now you can begin melting the chocolate, for best results place a glass bowl over a source pan of boiling water - ensuring that the bowl is not touching the water. Break up the chocolate into pieces and place into the bowl. 



Melting white chocolate is slightly more tricky than milk or dark, due its lower burning point it can tend to overheat quickly, becoming stodgy and unusable. It's important to keep a close eye on it when melting. A great trick is to take the chocolate off the boil before it is all completely melted, the remaining lumps will melt if you continue to stir the chocolate and by removing it from the heat it won't overheat. Melt on a medium heat. 

Now that the chocolate is ready take a teaspoon and start creating chocolate disks on the grease proof paper, these can be any size and thickness you prefer. I made a mixer of sizes for mine. With your disks completed you can add the hundreds and thousands to the top, simple sprinkle over the chocolate while its still warm. You may want to gently press them into the chocolate to ensure they stay in place. All you need to do now is wait for the disks to cool, when ready they can easily be removed from the grease proof paper and are ready to eat.
