Level the surface with a rolling pin 1cm/½ thick and with the heart-shaped mould create short pastry hearts.

Spread the melted chocolate on one heart and then cover it with the other half, proceed in this way for all the other place onto a baking tray.

Very pretty indeed and wonderfully simple to make.

P.S: why are your photos (sometimes) appearing smaller on the Forum these days?

Thank you.
I think it's because I'm reducing them sometimes (too much blurry), but they look like stamps

I love your photos. They are always so well composed. I know you have a good phone camera so its a shame if they are coming out blurry. I think you have an iPhone? I'm not familiar with that phone but I know TastyReuben uses one and his photos are always good and sharp.

Sorry to de-rail your Recipe thread...
