Home made chocolates

Everyone has a different taste.. Some like plain Choclates, some like it with almond twist, many of us like raisins n even cashews in it... And mostly that nutty taste of caramel and rice crunches..

My favourite is choclate filled with caramel sauce , which I will share soon.

This one is for beginners..

So here is a very very easy recipe of homemade Choclates.. Quick and fast..

And best part is that you can add the nuts of your choice..

You can even involve kids while making Choclates. I m sure they will love it.

Choclates comes in a never ending varieties.

Today m sharing the most easiest form of it..

Ingredients:

Dark chocolate compound (1 slab )

Milk chocolate compound  (1slab )

Rice balls ( 5-6 spoons)

Hazel nut crunch (2-3 spoons )

Walnut ( 2-3 spoons ) 

Almonds (2-3 spoons)

Caramel crunch (2-3 spoons )

Method:

Take a microwave proof bowl . Add slabs of dark and milk compound in equal quantities and microwave it for 1 n a half minute. 

Once your chocolate melts take it out. Don't over heat the chocolate else it will get burnt. 

If ur slab is in room temperature then 1n a half minute on microwave high is more than enough.

Mix the choclate And then add nuts of your choice. Here I m using almonds and walnuts 

Add rice balls. They are easily available in supermarkets. 

If u like ferrero rocher that for that taste in your choclates you can add hazel nuts.

Roughly crush the nuts And add them to the melted choclate batter.

I love caremal crunch in my choclates so you can even add them otherwise its optional.

Mix everything properly and with a help of a  spoon pour in to the mould of your choice.

Refrigerate your choclates for 10 min amd remove from the freezer.

If choclates dont come out by its own that means it needs some more time to set.

Pack ur choclate with attractive covers easily available in market and impress your loved ones
