November 9, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 36 Comments

During the week I made some origami heart baskets using card and paint charts.

I have also made some chocolate caramel tarts out of the Woman’s Weekly Great Casual Food Cookbook.

Caramel Chocolate Tarts

1 cup plain flour
90g butter, chopped
¼ cup caster sugar
100 g dark chocolate

Caramel filling:
395 g condensed milk
30 g butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup

Preheat oven to moderate. Grease two 12 hole mini muffin tins.
Sift flour into medium bowl. Rub in butter. Stir in sugar. Press two teaspoons of mixture into each hole of the muffin tins. Bake in moderate oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Pour hot caramel filling over hot bases. Return to oven for 3 minutes. Stand tarts 2 minutes before gently easing out of pans. Cool.
Spread top of tarts with melted chocolate. Stand at room temperature until set.

Caramel filling: combine ingredients in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until butter melts and mixture is combined.

    I use to do quite a lot of origami. I use to have a book which showed you to make fishes and birds using the same technique, but I lent to someone and they never returned it.

    The caramel tarts looks yummy.

    I’ve finally managed to catch up with you and you’ve both been busy making some adorable stuff! I love the room makeover and all the extras you’ve crafted from the leftover duvet fabric — too, too cute! I can’t wait to see the list you come up with for using the encyclopedias. What a great idea — the internet has sure made them obsolete. And those paint card tags are just adorable. Now I’m feeling sad for the paint stores that will probably have trouble keeping their sample cards in stock LOL!

    So cute…and so clever–just love how you made the woven heart! We make these hearts every year here in Norway, very much part of the Christmas holiday tradition here. It was a tough here, so one of those tarts would go down a treat just now…mmmm…Happy week to you all ((HUGS))

    We make those hearts and use them for decorations on our Christmas-tree. Very traditional here in Denmark 🙂 Ours are usually made in red-white or red-green though. Your’s are very beautiful!
