Notes

Pro Tip:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) for a richer taste and a better contrast with the nutty filling.
  • To get a smooth and glossy chocolate coating, temper the chocolate properly by maintaining the right temperature (31-32°C for dark chocolate, 29-30°C for milk chocolate).
