Place a pan over a low heat, add a tin of condensed milk, £1, and a teaspoon of vanilla essence, 59p, both Tesco. Heat gently, and just before removing from the hob, stir in your chopped-up chocolate bars. Pour the mixture into a tray, set it in the fridge, then slice it up to serve.

PENNY FOR YOUR SAUCE: Turn hard toffee pennies into a silky caramel sauce for desserts. Melt the toffees down gently on the hob with a splash of single cream, £1.20, Asda, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over puddings like vanilla ice cream or even over mince pies for a decadent treat.

YULE LOVE IT: Use your leftover chocolates to jazz up a plain shop-bought or home made chocolate yule log. Chop up any soft-centred Quality Street or Celebrations bars and sprinkle them on top. Add a dusting of icing sugar for a festive touch. BACK TO BASE: If you are making a cheesecake, chocolate mousse, or tart, leftover soft chocolates can elevate your dessert base. Crush some biscuits, mix them with melted butter, and stir in your chopped-up chocs — Snickers and fudge bars work very well for this.
