Chocolates

350g icing sugar
175g soft butter
1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

Blend these three ingredients together and divide into three or four portions. Flavour each portion differently. You can try a little instant coffee powder; orange, almond or peppermint essence; a spoonful of fruit flavoured drink powder; or add some chopped dried fruit, nuts or cherries.

Shape the individual chocolate centres into rounds, roll in cornflour then dip in melted chocolate and place on a very lightly oiled plate to set. You can buy tiny pleated confectionery cases (like miniature paper cupcake cases) if you want to box your chocolates for someone special.
