Equipment
- Chocolate silicone molds
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate chips semi-sweet, dark or bittersweet
- ¼ cup Chopped nuts I have used cashews and almonds
- 2 tablespoon raisins
- 2 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Melt the chocolate
- You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and stir every 20 seconds until the chocolate is melted completely.
- To each cavity of silicone chocolate mold, based on size, add a teaspoon of melted chocolate and tap so that it spreads evenly.
- Keep this mold in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Roast the nuts
- Add chopped nuts like cashews and almonds in a non-stick pan and dry roast on medium-low flame until you get a nice aroma. (Toasted nuts enhance the flavor).
- Add these toasted nuts to a bowl along with raisins and honey, and mix well.
Fill the chocolate molds
- After 5 minutes, remove the chocolate mold from the freezer and fill each cavity with some fruit and nut mixture.
- Fill the rest of the mold with the remaining melted chocolate and tap it so that it evenly spreads.
- Keep this in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the chocolates from the mold and store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- Instead of cashews and almonds, you can use salted peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, etc.
- Raisins can be substituted with dried cranberries.
- I have used Ghirardelli chocolate chips. Feel free to use any other similar good quality chocolate chips or compound for best results.
- You can store the chocolate in an airtight container and keep it in a cool place or refrigerate it.
- If you do not have a chocolate silicone mold, you can even use an ice cube tray to try this recipe.
- The number of chocolates will vary based on the size of the molds.
