Hi Guys, I will do my best in describing the method to make the chocolate cigarettes as it is easier to show you than to explain.
Here goes
For 50 cigarettes
500g white chocolate

In a bain marie slowly melt the chocolate until smooth and totally lump free.
Make the cigarettes in small batches.
Pour some of the chocolate on to a marble slab or Granite worksurface or marble chopping board or large marble tile from a tile warehouse. (top tip - if you like working with chocolate alot then go to a builders merchants/ good DIY store as they usually have lots of off cuts of marble you can buy for a few pounds)
Using a wall paper scraper (New and clean) spread the chocolate back and forth to create a layer of firm chocolate approx 2mm thick.
Using the scraper at a 45 degree angle at the edge of the chocolate push away from you to create curls.
The chocolate will curl its self to form cigarettes.
Store in a cool dry place but NEVER in the fridge as refrigerating chocolate reduces its shelf life and quality dramatically.

I hope this helps guys, do post again if you have any problems. I visit the site most evenings.
