Easy Pure Chocolate Sauce
Melt a 100g bar of dark or milk chocolate with a tablespoon of golden syrup or maple, whisk in 200 ml double or whipping cream and a shot of your favourite tipple. Serve hot, warm or cold. (Why not replace the dark Chocolate for white)
Valentines Chocolate Special Matchmakers (Makes 30 x 5 g sticks) Homemade matchmakers are amazing fun to make and really simple (the secret is only demerara sugar) yet delightfully crunchy with that lovely dark chocolate melt in the mouth pleasure.
Ingredients 100 g good dark chocolate (70% cocoa) 15 ml crème de menthe liqueur 40 – 45 g demerara sugar
Method Melt the chocolate over a bain marie (in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water) until melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in the crème de menthe and the sugar. Spread a square slab on to a piece of greaseproof paper allowing a decent thickness approx 2 – 3 mm. Gently move to a cleared shelf in the fridge and allow to set for 10 - 15 minutes. With a sharp slightly warmed knife cut the chocolate slab in to matchmakers strips.
