Homemade chocolate with peanuts and apricots
Do you remember homemade chocolate from childhood? That extremely delicious dessert that we couldn’t wait for our mother or grandmother to prepare?
Simple or filled with various nuts and dried fruit, the homemade chocolate bar was one of our choices whenever we wanted to eat something good. We used Orlando’s lightly salted dehydrated apricots and peeled peanuts, which balanced the sweet taste of the chocolate extremely well. I told you we like sweet and savory combinations, right? This combination of tastes highlights all the flavors and brings that preparation to anonymity, no matter how simple.
If you have chocolate-loving friends or if you want to surprise your friends you haven’t seen in a long time, these homemade chocolate bars with dehydrated peanuts and apricots can be a perfect choice. Wrap them nicely, even write them a message of friendship, your gesture will be appreciated and in addition you will awaken pleasant memories.
We enjoyed them in the morning for coffee. In what context would you eat them?
