CHOCOLATE DISCS
Ingredients
- 2 cups dark chocolate wafers
- 1 tsp espresso powder
Toppings
- dried cranberries
- dried cherries
- candied ginger
- sliced almonds
- candied orange peel
- pistachios
- dried apricots
Instructions
- Place a sheet of non-stick silicone or parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Place 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth and glossy. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 10 seconds.)
- Using a tablespoon, pour 2 spoons of the melted chocolate in rounds onto the lined baking sheet.
- Top them evenly with your desired ingredients. I use 3 to 4 toppings.
- Set aside to harden.
Notes
For the chocolate I like to use chocolate wafers, I can buy them in bulk and they melt easily.
If you can't find wafers, you can also use chocolate chips and bars.
For this recipe I used dark chocolate, but white and milk chocolate work just as well.
