    ingrediants:

    1 big bag of giant cadburys milk chocolate buttons
    1 small bar of cadburys bournville dark chocolate
    100g of glace cherries
    alot of cadburys bournville cocoa powder

    method:
    1.take a sharp knife and slice up the bournville into small pieces,and put those pieces in a microwave safe bowl

    2.put the bowl in the microwave and set it to 20 seconds at 800w

    3.when the timer ends, take the bowl out

    4.take 5 giant buttons,rip them to little pieces,and sprinkle over the hot melting choclate

    5.stir it round with a spoon to get it nice and mixed

    6.put back in microwave,and set it to 1 minute

    7.take it out again,mix it round,and if melted all the way through,move to step 9

    8.if not properly melted,put back into microwave and repaet it for 20 seconds atime,stirring it everytime it comes out,to help work the heat through

    9.take the cherries,and implae each of them with one toothick each

    10,now stir them round in the melted chocolate,coating each of them in the mix

    11. put on plate ,and put in fridge

    12.wait 30 mins for the choclate to set to a hard state(MOST IMPROTANT PART!!!!!!!!)

    13.while it is setting,take some time to browse the forums,or perhaps just stare at the wall

    14.after half an hour,LEAVE THE PLATE IN THE FRIDGE! and move on to stage 15

    15.place all but a few of the remaining buttons into a microwave safe bowl(reccomeneded to use new one,can use the one you used earlier)

    16.repeat the melting stages,adding in the remaining buttons as you go(or use them for a quick snack while you wait,up to you)

    17. drizzle the mix over the cherries,making sure each get atleast a small bit of the mix over them

    18.take the cocao powder,and apply untill you can no longer see any chocolate,and it all looks like its been blanketed with powder

    19.let set for another 10-20 mins

    20.when cooled eat them,share them,or just use them for decoration

    21.leave a comment about if you liked them,or any changes you made :)
