Perfect as an after dinner treat, these quick & easy homemade chocolates are simply the best! Honestly, they won't take nearly as long as your guests will imagine.
½poundcooking chocolate (approx 250g) (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
1small jar chocolate hazelnut spread (eg, Nutella)
7ouncesnuts (approx 200g)(chopped)
1tablespooncopha or coconut oil
Instructions
In a microwave-safe container, melt the chocolate pieces with the copha. (I find that it takes approximately 1 minute on 'high', but that would depend on your microwave. Whatever you do, please don't let the chocolate burn - there's no coming back from that. Once chocolate has burnt, you'd need to start again because you can't get rid of the burnt taste, unfortunately.)
Stir melted chocolate and copha or coconut oil.
Add a teaspoonful of chocolate to the bottom of each little compartment of an ice-cube tray.
Add half a teaspoonful of Nutella on top of the chocolate to make a second layer.
Spoon over another teaspoonful of chocolate on top of the Nutella to make the third layer.
Add a light sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Chill in the freezer for 10 - 15 minutes to set.
Store in a cool, dry place.
