Ingredients
125g hazelnuts (without shells)
75g crystallised ginger
200g Chosen by you Dark Chocolate (50% cocoa solids)
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Put the hazelnuts on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 5 minutes. Use kitchen roll to rub off the papery skins. Leave to cool.
2
Once cold, roughly chop the nuts, plus the ginger.
3
Break the chocolate into squares and put in a heatproof bowl. Melt over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally – make sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
4
Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in 100g of the nuts and all the ginger.
5
Line another baking tray. Arrange heaped teaspoons of the chocolate mixture on the paper, leaving a gap between each. Sprinkle the chocolate bites with the rest of the nuts. Leave to set, then lift off the paper. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
