oooh, i'm interested in this too! My OH makes chocs but he basically just melts down choc and adds stuff and cools them in ice cube trays. He puts marzipan, almonds, nuts, raises etc

I put this on a thread in the Christmas section

It is a clotted cream fudge that I make.
You'll need a jam thermometre

Ingredients
275g Caster sugar (10 oz)
100g Golden syrup (3 1/2 oz)
225g Clotted cream (8 oz)
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla essence

Method

Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, cover and boil for 3 minutes. Uncover and continue to boil until the temperature reaches 116 °C / 240 °F.

Remove from the heat and beat until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Pour into a greased tin. Leave for 30 minutes. Mark into squares with a knife and leave until set. Cut into pieces

Chocolate Truffles
These look nicest put into paper sweet cases

Ingredients
25g cocoa powder
50g icing sugar
50g chopped nuts
50g cream cheese
Chocolate vermicelli

Put the cheese, chopped nuts, icing sugar and cocoa powder into a bowl and stir until everything is well mixed together. Roll the mixture into balls of the right size to fit into the sweet cases. Sprinkle the chocolate vermicelli onto a board and roll the truffle balls in it carefully until they are covered all over. Pop into the sweet cases and keep in a cool place until you are ready to eat them!
