EASY CHOCOLATES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place 200g/7oz of the chocolate in a glass bowl. Melt in the microwave on the lowest setting until almost smooth. Quickly stir in the remaining chocolate. (This lowers the temperature quickly and ensures a smooth and glossy finish.)
• Pour the melted chocolate into the ice cube squares until roughly one-quarter full. Move the tray around until the sides of the cube moulds are coated in chocolate. Set aside in a cool place until completely set.
• Meanwhile, cover the remaining melted chocolate with cling film and set aside in a warm place. If it starts to set, place the chocolate bowl over a smaller bowl of boiling water and gently stir until smooth again.
• To make the coconut filling, place the desiccated coconut in a small bowl and stir in the condensed milk until it sticks together but isn’t sloppy. Roll into small bowls.
• Once the chocolate base has set hard, you can add a selection of fillings to the squares. Add a coconut ball, or a teaspoon of peanut butter, or sprinkle in a few nuts or fruits. (Do not overfill the squares as this can cause breakages when removing from the mould.)
• Pour in the remaining melted chocolate, until all the moulds are full and the fillings are covered. Leave to set hard in a cool place.
• Once set, carefully turn out the chocolates. If desired, dab a little melted chocolate on top of each chocolate and sprinkle on any remaining fillings.
• Serve on a platter or package up in a gift box or bag to give as a gift.
