The chocolate pots were delicious when they were finished you could taste the creamy natural yogurt in the pot, I thought that perhaps they could of done with more milk chocolate than dark they were quite thick in texture and very sweet in taste. 
The Biscuits were really nice and there was too much dough so I ended up with lots of Halloween biscuits they were really nice though and the boys loved them! I didn't pipe the lettering on the tombstone biscuits on my pots as I had no icing but I would love to know how you get on if you make some?

This Recipe was sent to my free of charge from Rachel's yogurt. all opinions expressed are honest and remain my own.
