Cocol chocolate colourings, a cocoa butter product which comes in 14 colours, including metallics and iridescents, is the latest offering from this innovative company, which can deliver its products worldwide. The colourings melt in a microwave, and can be marbled through tempered white chocolate for stylish dessert presentations, or painted on to handmade chocolates for a very professional finish. The 75g colour pots cost £3.95 (€4.95) and shipping to Ireland is calculated by weight and charged at cost. www.squires-shop.com.
