Ingredients (for about 40 chocolates)
•
Dark chocolate 500 gr.
•
Hazelnut grains 50 gr.
•
pistachio grains 50 gr.
•
Cinnamon 1 tsp
•
Chili pepper 1/3 if fresh or if powdered 1/3 teaspoon
•
Paper cups and silicone molds of various shapes
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. I used chocolate in wafers.
When it is melted and you see that mixing it with a spoon is totally fluid, divide it into several containers, according to the varieties you want to prepare. I used four small containers.
In the first I add the chilli. I used the fresh one, using only a third since it is very spicy. Failing that, you can use chili powder and use a third of a teaspoon. If you prefer spicier chocolate, you can increase the dose to your taste by tasting during preparation. Mix well.
In another quantity I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and mixed well.
Another variety I prepare with chopped pistachios, the fourth variety I enrich with chopped hazelnuts.
With a spoon very gently I start filling the molds. I fill the hearts with chili chocolate.
I fill the caps with cinnamon chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.
I fill the cups with pistachio chocolate and decorate with a pinch of pistachio grains.
I put it to solidify in a cool place for about an hour. I remove the chocolates from the molds. If you don't have molds, you can also use just cups of different shapes and colors. I arrange the small morsels of goodness on a serving plate!
You can also join hearts and form four-leaf clovers! Happy Valentine's Day!
