Ingredients
- 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 8 ounces whole almonds
- 3 ounces mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Have all of the toppings chopped and ready to go.
- Place a silicone mat or parchment paper on a cookie sheet and top with half of the almonds. Spread them out to cover a space approximately 11x7 inches.
- Temper the chocolate using the microwave (see detailed instruction in post above for tempering using a double boiler or a microwave).
- To temper chocolate start by adding 2/3 of the finely chopped chocolate to a microwave safe dish.
- Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring the chocolate in between each until the chocolate is melted, smooth, and has reached 110 - 115 degrees F (for dark chocolate).
- Set the bowl to the side and let the chocolate cool stirring from time to time.
- When the chocolate gets to 95 degrees F add the last of the unmelted chocolate and stir until it is fully melted, and smooth.
- Continue stirring the chocolate, allowing it to cool to 80 degrees F.
- Test the temper by drizzling a little spot of chocolate onto a piece of parchment paper. It should firm up very quickly 3-5 minutes) and it should be glossy, no cloudy film, or streaks.
- If your chocolate passes the temper test gently heat your chocolate to 85-90 degrees F. Go in short 5 second bursts in the microwave so you don't overheat. Do NOT exceed 95 degrees F or you'll break the temper. Once it is about 90 degrees F it should be smooth, pourable, and ready to use.
- Pour the tempered chocolate on to the parchment paper or silicone mat lined cookie sheet spreading the chocolate out evenly into a rough rectangle of about 11 inches x 7 inches. You don’t have to be precise just make sure you don’t make the chocolate so thin that it can’t hold the toppings.
- Sprinkle the almonds and marshmallows over the chocolate pressing down lightly to make sure they stick to the chocolate.
- Let chocolate cool on the counter for 1-2 hours, or until fully hardened.
- Break up chocolate into large pieces.
- Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 weeks.
