Ingredients
- 100 g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate bar, separated into individual squares
- 30 g (1 oz) hazelnuts
- 30 g (1 oz) almonds
- 30 g (1 oz) walnut halves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 100°C (212°F) for 5 minutes, then turn it off to use the residual heat for gentle melting.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the milk chocolate bar into individual squares and arrange them spaced evenly on the parchment paper in one or two rows.
- Place the baking sheet inside the turned-off oven and let the chocolate soften for about 5 minutes using the residual heat. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
- While the chocolate softens, prepare your toppings by arranging hazelnuts, almonds, and walnut halves.
- Once the chocolate squares become soft but not fully melted, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Immediately press the nuts gently onto each chocolate square so they stick without sinking completely.
- Let the chocolate set again at room temperature or place the tray in the refrigerator for faster hardening, about 15–20 minutes.
- Once firm, your mendiants are ready to enjoy or package as gifts.
Recipe Notes
- Use quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; give each square space to melt evenly.
- Press nuts only lightly so they stay on top without sinking in.
- Store mendiants in a cool dry place to prevent melting.
