Sweets For Your Sweet
It was with mileage in mind that the recipe pack for this class was designed - grasping one set of techniques/recipes thus leads to other possibilities. So in addition to the key recipes demonstrated at class, I've included a bonus section with extra recipes, ideas and serving suggestions.
With the season of gifting round the corner, my personal favourite in the lineup of ideas is a S'mores Kit (pictured above) - the difference being that both the Graham Crackers (made from nutty wholemeal flour, brown sugar, honey and cinnamon) and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Marshmallows have been crafted from scratch. Packaged together with tablets of Valrhona Equatoriale Noire 55% Dark Chocolate, I can't think of a more fun and delicious DIY gift.A thoughtful touch is including in your gift tag instructions for assembling and toasting the S’mores – these nostalgic snacks are the perfect marriage of crisp and gooey, molten chocolate and vanilla perfume...the ultimate luxurious spin on a comforting and familiar treat.
A proper cup of Hot Chocolate, rich, thick and smooth with Valrhona Araguani 72% Dark Chocolate, deserves nothing less than to be topped by a Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Marshmallow.
Rocky Road Fudge (Valrhona Equatoriale Noire 55% Dark Chocolate Fudge studded with Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Marshmallows & Pecans) combines the best of 2 recipes – the ease of the “instant fudge” method as illustrated by the Mocha Walnut Fudge, and the scrumptiousness of homemade marshmallows.

Wow, they all look so delicious and fun!
Mmmmm I wish I could take cllass!! Especially the Butterscotch Sauce and Honeycomb Crunch looks Yuuummmmm
I have briefly scanned through Shermey's website. Are first-time bakers allowed for these pastries classes? I didn't see much information for beginners except the restrictions with children.
Hi Joycelyn
I just attended the class you just taught over the weekend. I just wanted to say that it was great. I had a lot of fun, picked up many tips, I'm so inspired about Christmas again!!!!!
That all looks lovely!!

I would love if you could send me your recipe for Honeycomb Crunch. My friend used to make it for me about 30 odd years ago.

Dearest Joycelyn - I would be extremely happy to have these fabulous sweets at any time of year, they all look so indulging. Matthew loves hot chocolate and keeps asking me to make some 'real' marshmallows to go with it, maybe it's time for me to try but I know it won't be as lovely as yours :) Take care, and let me know if you're planning a trip to paris anytime soon ;) kxxx
Absolutely stunning pictures as usual - you're use of light is so sublime. Lovely.
