Method

  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Set aside for 5 mins to cool.
  2. Add the pretzels, apricots and glacé cherries and stir to coat in the chocolate. Use a teaspoon to divide the mixture evenly between 16 petit four cases, then scatter the stars and silver pearls on top. Transfer to the fridge for 30 mins until set.
  3. Dust the nuggets with the gold lustre. Divide between 2 sealable gift boxes. Keep in the fridge or a cool dark place for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving.
