Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

4 T icing sugar
¼ t purple food colouring gel
¼ t pink food colouring gel
4 T water

Divide the icing sugar between 2 bowls and add the purple food colouring to one bowl, and the pink to the other.

Add enough water to make the icing thin enough to drizzle over the chocolate.
