Chocolate Walnuts

Fig Almond

Pistachio Nougat

Method

Chocolate Walnuts

  1. 1

    Prepare the Walnuts

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Walnuts

    Once the walnuts are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Pour the melted chocolate over the walnuts and mix until evenly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.

  4. 4

    Set the Chocolate Walnuts

    Spread the chocolate-coated walnuts on parchment paper and allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

Fig Almond

  1. 5

    Chop the Figs

    Chop the dried figs into small pieces.

  2. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine chopped figs, chopped almonds, and honey. Mix well until the mixture is sticky.

  3. 7

    Form the Mixture

    Shape the mixture into small balls or bars and place them on a plate.

Pistachio Nougat

  1. 8

    Cook the Sugar Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer.

  2. 9

    Whip Egg Whites

    While the sugar mixture is cooking, whip the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form.

  3. 10

    Combine Mixtures

    Once the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature, gradually pour it into the whipped egg whites while continuously beating with a mixer.

  4. 11

    Add Pistachios and Vanilla

    Once fully combined, fold in the pistachios and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.

  5. 12

    Set the Nougat

    Pour the nougat mixture into a greased dish and spread evenly. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
