Flavoured with rose petals, these gold-flecked French chocolates make a glittering finale to any celebratory lunch.

100g good-quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
25g good-quality white chocolate, roughly chopped
Edible gold leaf and dried edible rose petals, to serve (see note)

Method

1.

Place the dark chocolate and white chocolate in separate heatproof bowls, then place each over saucepans of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowls touch the water) and stir until the chocolates are melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
2.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Drop teaspoonfuls of dark chocolate onto the baking paper, allowing them to spread out into a flat disc. While still warm, place a small drop of white chocolate in the centre and use a wooden skewer to swirl a decorative pattern. Garnish with gold leaf and petals. Chill for 15 minutes or until set, then serve.
