Background

These nutty chocolate rocks are lovely, healthy snacks during the festive season. I made them with walnut, but hazelnut, pecan and almond would work too. If you use dairy-free butter and top quality chocolate - then you’ll get a vegan, glute-free and rather healthy nibbles.

Ingredients

1 bar of good quality, dark chocolate (about 200g)
1 cup walnut
1.5 Tbsp butter or milk-free margarine
3 Tbsp desiccated coconut (sugar-free)
Icing sugar (to serve), optional

Instructions

Chop the nuts into small pieces and mix with the coconut.
Melt the chocolate in bowl resting on top of a pan of simmering. Mix in the butter or margarin. Stir until the butter is completely melted.
Take the bowl off the pan. Add the walnut-coconut mixture to the melted chocolate and mix well.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
When it’s slightly hardened, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet or plate lined with baking paper. Chill until they firm up.
Dust them with some icing sugar just before serving.
