Chocolate ganshues

Today in hospo we made chocolate things an father were looked so good, we had to melt the cream and chocolate in a bowl. Next we had to mix in the cookies marshmellowns and the crunchy. It looked so good I just wanted to eat it. I think that this meal is so u healthy for you and it will contain so much calories and sugar that it may take along time to work it off.
I really had a good time to make this because I got to do lot of the cooking I got to mix the chocolate and the cream then I got the mix in the other things. This was my favorite hospo lesson

Today in hospo I was working in my assignment. When doing this assignment I found it a bit hard to research becuase there was so much to find in the brief research on the 4 special food needs.
