I saw this recipe in the latest issue of 'The Simple Things' magazine (issue 3), it has very few ingredients, is easy to make and tastes gorgeous. It's a perfect treat for Christmas and can even be boxed up and given as a gift. Keeping in mind the festive spirit I've added some extra sparkle to mine.
Recipe
200g dark chocolate
100ml double cream
5 tbsp coco powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Method
- Chop the chocolate up in to small pieces and melt in a bain marie ensuring the bottom of your bowl is not in contact with the simmering water
- Once the chocolate has melted stir in the double cream and take off the heat once combined
- Allow to cool (put it in the fridge if need be)
- In a shallow dish sift together the coco, cinnamon and cloves
- Roll the cooled mixture into small balls and then coat in the powder mix until thoroughly coated
Tips and Additions
- You could add rum, orange oil, honeycomb pieces, chilli flakes or nuts to the mix for added texture and flavour
- You do not have to add the spices to the coco powder if not to your taste
