I Feel Like Willy Wonka… With A Difference

A while ago, I had an idea for swag. It’s not unusual for me to make some of my own swag by hand, but this time was a little different.

As you guys know, I’m quirky. I like to be different. So it’s no shock that this particular item is a little out of my norm.

I bought the stuff I needed and set about making it a project for my son and I to do together during the school holidays (they’ve had 5 weeks off for summer).

At first, it was a little too hot for what I wanted to do. The heat was sure to make things melt. And that wouldn’t be great considering the swag I was going to make was chocolate.

But no ordinary chocolates. No. These are willies. I found the perfect mold on Etsy, and I also bought one to make hearts and one that makes a male torso.

As I write MM romance, it seemed fitting to dye the chocolate in different colours to make a rainbow.

We finally had some cooler days last week, so we’ve had time to practice. Below are some pics of our progress. I’m sure you’ll agree we got better as we went along 😉

We have packaging for these, with the following sticker.

**Though I just want to say, the name is a pun, and the chocolates are actually allergen free and do NOT contain nuts**

Anyway, hope you like our hard work. We’ll be making another couple of colours after the day off for my birthday (22nd).
