Method
Break the dark1 and milk2 chocolate into a bowl; roughly chop the nut mix.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth each time.
Spoon half the chocolate into molds or drop small patties onto parchment.
Mix peanut3 butter with chopped nuts, spread over the chocolate, then top with the remaining chocolate.
Chill for 30–40 minutes until fully set.
Tips
- Why it works
- Melt the chocolate in short bursts so it doesn't burn. If you overheat it, it turns bitter and loses its shine.
- Substitutions
- Replace the peanut butter with 10 g of sweet curd cheese mixed with sugar. Instead of the nut mix, use 8 g of crushed pecans or walnuts.
- Common mistakes
- If the filling leaks through the chocolate, you added too much or didn't seal it tightly with the top layer.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 3 days. Warm for 10 seconds in the microwave, but it's better to eat them fresh.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or coffee after lunch, when you want something sweet but don't feel like cooking.
