- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 125 g dates, pitted
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp water
- 140 g bitter chocolate
*for 9 serving
Instructions:
- If you are using raw chestnuts, scratch the curved side and boil for about 25 minutes and peel them. Skip this step if you are using boiled and peeled chestnuts.
- Put the chestnuts, dates, cinnamon, peanut butter and half of the water in a food processor, pulse them until you get a paste with small particles. If it does not come to a paste consistency, add remaining water. Rest for about 20 minutes in a refrigerator.
- Melt the bitter chocolate in a microwave at 700W for about 80 seconds, stir it through halfway.
- Take a scoop of the mixture with a cookie scoop and form a rectangular or ball shape in your hand. Dip the pieces you get into melted bitter chocolate and cover all sides. Transfer them into a tray lined with waxed paper.
- Rest them for about 2 hours in a refrigerator. Serve them when it cools down.
