Additional Tips

If you don't have a weight at hand, 3 oz slivered almonds are about 3 Tbs, heaped - 4 oz cornflakes are 3-4 cups, depending on the brand - 10 oz chocolate are about 2½ cups, grated.

Make three batches, one with dark chocolate, one using milk chocolate and a third using white chocolate. A real treat!

And consider this recipe dairy free if you only use dark -milk free- chocolate.
