Where to buy the ingredients to make a hot chocolate fondant
Most ingredients can be purchased from your local grocery store and supermarkets. However, look for the best main ingredients when making desserts. I favour this version of the Lindt dark chocolate, you will need a couple of bars (depending on how much you are making).
- Lindt Excellence Dark 70% Cocoa Chocolate: Lindt Dark 70% Chocolate on Amazon
HOT TIPS...

- Make sure you line the moulds with butter and cocoa powder for a perfect finish!
