Ingredients
- 100 g/ 3.5 oz/ ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 80 g/ 2.8 oz/ ¾ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 500 g/ 1.1 lb / 4 cups powdered milk
- 100 ml/ 3.4 fl.oz/ scant ½ cup water
- 400 g/ 14.1 oz/ 2 cups sugar
- roasted nuts optional
Instructions
- Prepare everything before making the syrup.
- Line a medium casserole dish with cling film. Let the butter come to room temperature and chop into small cubes. Weigh the cocoa into a small bowl and set aside. Place the powdered milk in a large bowl. Roast the nuts, if using, in a pan without fat while shaking often and let cool.
- To make the syrup place water and sugar into a medium pot. Bring to a boil and simmer stirring until the sugar dissolves and a light syrup is formed.
- Take the syrup off the heat, add the cocoa powder, place the pot back on the stove and let it bubble just one more time.
- Take off the heat and add the cubed butter, stirring well to incorporate.
- Immediately pour the liquid over the powdered milk and stir vigorously.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and level nicely.
- If using nuts, you could either mix them into the chocolate before adding the mixture to the dish or sprinkle them over the chocolate in the dish.
- Cover with cling film, let cool completely on the counter and then place in the fridge until set. It will take about 2 hours.
- Cut into squares or rectangles before serving.
