1 Microwave half the chocolate on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until fully melted.

2 Place the other half of the chocolate in a separate dish and melt as above. Add food colouring and cinnamon to this batch.

3 Place 1 teaspoon melted white chocolate and 1 teaspoon melted red chocolate in a mould or mini silicone cup. Swirl with a toothpick. Leave until set (in the fridge on a hot day), then press out of the mould.

HFG tip

The trick to good presents is good presentation.

Pack your edible present in a gift box lined with wax paper. If packing more than one layer, separate the layers with a sheet of wax paper.
Wrap the box in tin foil, scraps of fabric, or white paper with your own drawings.
Be creative with your decorating. Try ribbon bows, beads, seashells, real pine needles or tinsel.
