Galaxy ® Hot Chocolate


List of Ingredients




Muffins:
5 tbsps Galaxy ® Hot Chocolate
100g Galaxy ® chocolate, chopped
200ml water
225g plain flour
85g unsalted butter
85g golden caster sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
6 tbsps milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Icing:
200g Galaxy ® chocolate, chopped
350g icing sugar
50g unsalted butter
7 tbsp warm water


Recipe



Preheat oven to 180 ° C/350 ° F/Gas Mark 4. Place water, sugar, golden syrup, butter and 3 tbsps of the milk in a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring continuously until sugar has dissolved before bringing to the boil. Reduce heat and cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Place 3 tbsps of the milk into a small bowl. Add the vanilla essence and bicarbonate of soda, stirring to dissolve. Into a separate bowl, sift the flour and Galaxy ® hot chocolate powder. Add the syrup mixture and milk mixture and beat until smooth. Whilst mixture is still warm add chopped Galaxy ® chocolate and stir.

Carefully spoon the mixture into paper bun cases, arranged in 2 bun tins. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool. To make icing place the Galaxy ® chocolate in a medium sized heatproof bowl with the butter and 4 tbsps of the water and set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted. Stir until smooth. Add the icing sugar and remaining 3 tbsps of water gradually, stirring until smooth. Spread onto each bun using the back of a metal spoon. You can decorate each bun with crystallised rose petals or violets for a Valentine’s day touch or with chocolate curls or chopped hazelnuts.
