You will need:
- 400g dark chocolate melts
- 150g almonds (or hazelnuts)
Let's make it:
Step 1:
Line a large baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Step 2:
Add the chocolate into in the Sunbeam Mixmaster® HeatSoft™ Planetary Mixer bowl, attach the scraper beater and fit the Heatsplash™ guard onto the bowl. Turn on HeatSoft™ and select MELT. Mixing on low speed then gradually increasing until the ingredients melt together and the mixture becomes smooth. Turn HeatSoft™ off.
Step 3:
Leave to cool for 5 minutes. Add the almonds and stir until completely coated.
Step 4:
Pour over the prepared baking paper and, using a palette knife, spread into a large rectangle (about the size of an A4 sheet of paper).
Step 5:
Leave to set in a cool place (you can chill in the fridge to speed up the process but the chocolate may lose its gloss).
Step 6:
Break into shards and enjoy within 2 weeks.
