Easy Chocolate Sweets and Treats for Kids to Make

Making Sweets and Candies are great gift ideas I know my kids friends love to get homemade treats, and making your own can save you a lot of money, as many of the candies you can make will cost you more to buy ready made than if you make them yourself.

To make the Fruit Cups you will need:-

2/3 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

18 Paper Bonbon Cups

Filling:-
2 Tablespoons Butter

1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Blanched Almonds

1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Walnuts

2/3 Cup Pitted Dates, Finely Chopped

1/3 Cup Finely Chopped Raisins

4 Candied Cherries, Finely Chopped

1/2 Cup Cream Cheese

Grated Rind of 1 Orange

1 Tablespoon Orange Juice

To Decorate

Grated Chocolate

Chopped Candied Cherries

To make the Chocolate Cups, melt the chocolate in a bowl over hot water, stirring occasionally.

Place a teaspoon of chocolate in a bonbon cup and gently tilt so that the chocolate covers the sides of the case.

Repeat with the remaining cases. Chill until set.

Carefully peel off the bonbon cups, re-coating any cracks that have formed with more melted chocolate.

Chill until required.

To make the filling, melt the butter in a pan and add the nuts and fruit.

Remove from the heat and beat in the cream cheese, orange rind and juice.

Leave the mixture to cool.

Fill each chocolate cup with about 2 teaspoons of the mixture.

Decorate with the grated chocolate and cherry pieces and chill until required.
