Step-by-step preparation of chocolate-covered dates sweets, recipe with photo:
1. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a deep container. Melt it in a way convenient for you. This can be done on a steam bath by constructing a special structure from a pot of boiling water and a colander, in which you place a container with chocolate and heat it under a closed lid. But the most convenient way is to use the microwave. With any method of heating the chocolate, make sure that it does not boil. Otherwise, he will acquire bitterness, from which it will be impossible to get rid of.
2. Wash the dates under running water and dry with a paper towel. Take dates as dry as you can find on the market, and before cooking, I recommend freezing them a little in the freezer. Then the melted chocolate will better fit on frozen dried fruits.
Dried fruits can be with a bone, or if you wish, remove the bone and put your favorite nuts in the middle: almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts … You can improvise with the recipe and come up with something new.
3. Place the dates in a bowl of melted chocolate.
4. Swirl the date in all directions so that it is completely covered with chocolate icing on all sides.
5. Place the chocolate-covered dates on parchment paper, cling foil or plastic wrap. Sprinkle with crushed nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder, if desired. Leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then transfer to the refrigerator to solidify the chocolate.
