It seems obvious that within this lil' Christmas build-up there should be some recipes, so I'm kick starting it off, with an amazingly simple to make recipe. It also uses cheap ingredients and is perfect for a gift (plus you can sneak ingredients, whilst your making it - hey, it's not stealing if you call it chefs perks!). I'm calling them Chocolate ball, circles, round, spherical like puddles/splats. I had a bit of a problem with what to call them, as you can see, but basically they're a flat, chocolate, circle. It feels like a bit of a rubbish way to describe them after all the build-up, but hey ho, they taste nice.
You will need:
Milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate
Cranberries/Raisins
Almonds
-judge how much you use by how many you want to make
How to make:
Melt the milk chocolate in a pan on the hob.
Pour onto a tray covered with baking paper. I am pouring it into little circles but I have also poured it into one big sheet before and smashed it up later.
Chop up the cranberries/raisins/almonds and sprinkle them on the top of the chocolate before it sets. Then put the tray into the fridge to set.
When the milk chocolate is solid, melt the white chocolate in another pan and drizzle it in zig-zag's over the milk chocolate circles. When the white chocolate has set, repeat the process with the dark chocolate!
If you did one big sheet when everything has set smash it up into shards.
If you are going to give them away, put in a paper bag or glass jar and tie with some ribbon!
Yummy
