Recipe Notes

The cute wrapper will keep your hands clean and help you enjoy the delicious sweet.
The walnuts and corn flakes give the chocolate a crunchy texture and the rum raisins and orange peel will add an excellent flavor.
If you prefer a softer texture, add a small amount of heavy cream when you melt the chocolate.
