Halloween Blogging

White Mice Graveyard



Ingredients

Marshmallows
Dark Chocolate
Nice biscuits
Halloween Decorating Kit
White Mice
Wine Gums

Melt 200g chopped marshmallows, 50g unsalted butter and 200g dark chocolate over a low heat and then leave to cool slightly. Crumble in 13 biscuits (in chunky crumbs). Decorate 5 biscuits with the writing icing pens from the Halloween decorating kit to look like gravestones. Whip 300ml double cream until thick, then fold through the chocolate mixture. Spoon into 1 1/2 litre dish and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of each of the Halloween sprinkles. Position the mice and wine gums on the surface. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour to set. When ready to serve, arrange the gravestone biscuits in the mousse and poke in sprigs of fresh mint for a fun and frightening treat
