I thought, would it be possible to make a chocolate box from After Eights?. I&#8217;m not sure how gingerbread houses and a chocolate box have any connection!? but this is how my brain works! I had my doubts if it would work but I was willing to try, but luckily it worked! and by adding the ribbon, it just makes it that extra bit special, it looks like a cute little gift box, perfect for Christmas or any other special occasion.<\/p>\n<p>All that you need to make the chocolate box is some melted chocolate and lots of After Eights!? if you want to make quite a few.<\/p>\n<p>I added mint-flavoured chocolate cake inside the box for a surprise. I baked the cake but shop brought can be used. It doesn&#8217;t have to stop with cake, it could be filled with sweets, chocolates, mousse, ice cream etc. The list is endless, and you can be as imaginative as you want.<\/p>\n<p><img

Take another piece and apply the chocolate on the left and right edges then place on the base, repeat till the other three sides are added. Don&#39;t add the lid just yet. Leave aside to set, you can place it in the fridge to speed up the process. It can be a bit fiddly and messy but it&#39;s worth it in the end! When it&#39;s completely set and you can pick the box up without it breaking apart, cut a piece of chocolate cake and place it inside the box. Then add the last piece with metled chocolate around the edges. Carefully put on top then leave to set again. <\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div><span style=\"display: block;\">For the last process, add some ribbon. <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas season is in full swing, and after seeing Gingerbread houses, it inspired me.
