Whats that?
A chocolate wafer city filled with rum, hazlenut and nougaty goodness... and all I have of evidence is a crappy mobile phone picture. But thats okay. Because I will tell you how to make them. First of all, obtain a lovely Croatian friend to give you the idea in the first place. In this case it was the wonderful Martarina Crnkovic. After you have annoyed them for a while - maybe think of your ingredients.
You will need:
- 5 sheets of wafer - I am assured you can get this at a deli that sells imported foods - such as wafer boards from croatia.
- Cooking chocolate - or any chocolate that you no longer want around the house. In our case we went on a rampage and just found anything in the cupboard - such as celebrations, lindt chocolate, dark chocolate, flakes.... go nuts my friends.
- A bar of honey nougat - we also found this in the cupboard and thought, hey... this could be interesting and indeed it was... yummmm.
- Many many hazlenuts
- A tub of nutella.
- Rummmm - essence or the real stuff, its up to you really.
- Place all the chocolate and nougat into a glass bowl and then put it in a pan full of boiling water and gently stir it every few minutes - not too often, or it will get grainy.
- Blend the hazlenuts adding a splash of milk to make it into a paste
- Add the hazlenuts and the nutella into a mixing bowl and mix it all in together with as much rum as you want - when the chocolate and nougat has melted, add that too and stir away til you're convinced it looks awesome.
- It will look awesome, and you will want to eat it - but fight this urge if you can.
- Get your wafter boards and thinly spread the chocolately hazlenut paste over one at a time, and then place them on top of each other. When you're done, put some heavy books on top of it all to compress it down and wait a few hours for it to set.
- Once set, cut them with a sharp knife into any shape or form you want - we prefer triangles. Makes them look more wafer-biscuit like.
- TRA LA! Biscuits!
Also - it helps to listen to good music while doing this. I suggest some Feist.
