CHOCOLATE ROCKS WITH FRUIT AND NUT FILLING

makes 100 chocolate rocks

Stones that have been rocked back and forth by waves at the water’s edge become smooth, and feel soft to the touch. These chocolate rocks, filled with nuts and dried fruit, look just like the real thing, but are much tastier!

Chocolate shells

2 Oreo cookies

7 oz (200 g) white chocolate, chopped

6 Tbsp (90 ml) sweetened condensed milk

pinch of salt

⅛ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Crush the Oreo cookies by removing the white filling, placing the cookies in a plastic bag, and using a rolling pin.

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate, condensed milk, and salt, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the mixture is smooth. Stir in half of the crushed Oreo cookies.

Follow the instructions on the next page to shape the rocks.

Filling

¼ cup (30 g) salted peanuts

¼ cup (30 g) salted cashews

2 Tbsp (20 g) dried sweetened cranberries

Follow the instructions for the filling on the next page. You can also make chocolate rocks without a filling, but the white chocolate on its own is very sweet. You can substitute other kinds of nuts and dried fruit as well.

Tip: Use the rocks as decoration on a cake—maybe the chocolate cake on page 33 or the nut cake on page 105.
