Method

Join my free mini eCourse and learn how to make and temper dark chocolate like a boss.

Once you’ve made and tempered your chocolate, as per the video series above, follow the instructions below.

• In a bowl, combine 200g ( 7 oz ) chocolate and 75g ( 3/4 cup ) candied almonds in a bowl and mix to coat the almonds. I chopped my almonds, but you can do whole or chopped.

• Pour the chocolate into a mould of your choice. You can use a square baking tin, a plastic tupperware container, whatever. Once chocolate is tempered, it will contract when set, so it comes out of anything. Glass is a little tricky, best to use something flexible.

• Set in the fridge for 5 minutes and then at room temp until it’s set. If your room temp is over 18c/64f then set it in the fridge completely.

• Store in an airtight container at room temp, as long as your room temp isn’t over 22c/71f. If it’s over that temp then store in the fridge. When removing from the fridge, allow to come to room temp before opening the container to avoid shocking the chocolate and it getting condensation on the outside.
