    Crispy Chocolate Treats

    Did I ever mention we are all tremendous chocoholics? Yea, only like a hundred times, right? 

    Now that the daughter is also home from college for her Diwali break, both the kids are seriously hankering for treats every single day! Thankfully, both love homemade candies, so here we are with these delightful little Crispy Chocolate Treats!!

    Incredibly easy and fun to make, these chocolates are a wonderful kitchen project with the kids. And believe me, they are truly a crowd pleaser too. Make a couple of trays of these in the morning and pop them in your refrigerator ( or freezer) for setting. You don't need anything else to serve for dessert, that is if they last that long in your house!!

    I used dark 70% chocolate. Melted it with peanut butter to keep it slightly soft and up the protein content as well.  Puffed rice ( murmura) and  puffed amaranth ( also for making it healthier!) were added to make the chocolates super crunchy...they do stay crunchy even after a couple of days in the refrigerator or freezer. You can use dairy free chocolate as well to make this a completely vegan treat.

    Please do use the best quality chocolate and organic unsweetened peanut butter. Both are comfortably accessible at pretty much all supermarkets now. It's always lovely to have a stash of homemade goodies that are clean and free  from all the preservatives/additives /colours. And it  helps when they are a complete cinch to make, right?

        Thank you!! I use murmuras in most of my granolas too. And of course for making namkeen mixtures. They stay nice and crunchy, so easily available and cheaper to use than all the imported rice crispies! Hope you get to try these soon xx

      I am wondering if I can increase the peanut butter to chocolate ratio without compromising the texture. I am definitely going to try the original first, looks awesome!

        Hi Peggi! I think you can do that. It may make the chocolate a little bit more gooey and soft, but that's always a good thing, right?! 🙂 Do let me know how it worked out for you!
        Cheers

      Tried making them and they turned out yum Tasha! Thank you so much! I used chia seeds in place of the puffed amaranth-got a healthy crunch! ❤️
