Method

Put the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and leave it to melt, then give it a stir.
Put teaspoonfuls of chocolate on the lined tray, spreading them a little with the back of a spoon to make discs about 4-5cm (2-2½in) in diameter.
Sprinkle with the nuts and rose petals, then leave in a cool place to set. They can be put in the fridge for 30 minutes to set, then keep them cool.

Top Tip for making Fancy chocolate wafers

When set, serve as after-dinner treats, or put in polybags, tie with ribbon and hang on the Christmas tree or pack them in small boxes to give as gifts. They will keep for a week.
