Chocolate Bites

Ingredients

Dark Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Compound – 300g (or as needed)

Assorted roasted nuts – 1 cup

Assorted dry fruits – 1 cup

Pop corns – 1 cup

Roasted Makhana – 1 cup

Different types of  Sprinkles – as needed

Edible gold dust – ¼ tsp

Method:

1.    The main step in this recipe is to melt the chocolate correctly. So, take a vessel to boil water in. Select a glass bowl that will sit on top of this vessel perfectly.

2.    Boil some water in the vessel. The level of water should be such that it does not touch the glass bowl when placed over it.

3.    Chop up the chocolate into fine pieces and transfer them to the (clean and completely dry) glass bowl.

4.    Now lower the heat of the boiling water and place the glass bowl over it. No steam should escape from the sides.

5.    Using a spatula or a metal spoon, keep mixing the chocolate. It will start melting. Turn off the heat when half of it has melted. Keep mixing and melting the chocolate over the pan of water till it has melted completely.

6.    Remove from heat and dip the assorted nuts and fruits into the chocolate to coat them well. Shake off the excess and keep aside on a tray lined with butter paper.

7.    While the chocolate is setting, use the sprinkles to decorate them. Then set them  in the fridge for a few minutes to set.

8.    The chocolate bites may be stored in an airtight box for a month. If it is hot and humid, remember to store the box in the fridge.
