Instructions

1 Microwave chocolate melts in a large shallow bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir. If you find solid bits, microwave for 10 more seconds and stir. Repeat until chocolate is completely melted. Cool slightly.

2 Spread a layer of melted chocolate onto squares of bubble wrap (bubble side up), and place these into cups or muffin tins. Refrigerate.

3 Remove from containers and fill with fresh fruit. Decorate with mint and give on the same day.

HFG tip

When making chocolate baskets, leave the bubble wrap on or peel it off: it's up to you how you want to present them.
