Roasted Almond Chocolates

Chocolate is absolutely irresistable. There hardly shall  be a person who dislikes chocolates. Seeing a chocolate the child in us comes out and we forget our surroundings and happily enjoy the chocolate journey.
As kids we have had our favourite chocolate brands like Cadbury's Dairy Milk, Five star,Nestle Milkybar,Nutties,Fruit and Nut and the list is just endless.

My favourite has always been The Fruit n Nut from Cadbury's. I would just wait to bite onto the roasted almonds infused in the chocolate bar and it would be such a wonderful taste to feel the roasted almond and the melting chocolate ...aaaha...pure bliss !!!

Well,today's chocolate is loaded with roasted almonds and with every bite you can feel the flavor of the crunchy almonds.
You can make these chocolates and store them ahead of children's birthday parties or any get togethers. They definately taste better than the store bought ones, fresh and eggless as well.

Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : nil
Makes : 12- 15 chocolates
Complexity : Medium

Apparatus 

Double Boiler
A double boiler is  a set of two pots: a large one that looks a lot like a regular saucepan and a smaller one, more shallow pan that is placed above the sauce pan. The sauce pan has hot water and the upper pot should be so placed such that the base does not touch the water but only feels the steam and melts the contents in it.Double boilers are generally used when the contents need to be melted in lower temperatures.

Chocolate Moulds (Plastic or Silicone)
Chocolate mould is used to set the chocolate.They are available in different shapes and sizes . Silicone moulds and plastic variations are widely available in the market.

Ingredients
200gms dark chocolate
20-30 almonds roughly chopped

Method
In a sauce pan ,take some water and boil it .Turn off after the water starts boiling.

Meanwhile,roughly chop the dark chocolate and put it in the vessel which will be placed over the boiled water. You can use stainless steel or glass bowl.

The chocolate begins melting slowly.

Take a spoon or a ladle and mix it well till it reaches a nice saucy consistency.

Slightly roast the chopped almonds in a dry pan or microwave it for 30 -40 seconds till they turn crisp. Slowly add them to the melted chocolate and mix well.

Keep the mould ready and fill each mould with a spoonful of the chocolate almond mixture  and tap the mould on the platform to release all the trapped air bubbles.  lean all the chocolate droplets using a tissue so that the chocolates come out clean on demould. Freeze it in the refrigerator to set for 5-8 minutes.

 

Get it out of the freezer and demould the chocolates on a plate by tapping the mould on the reverse if you are using a plastic mould or you can simply demould by slightly looseing the invidual moulds.
