HOMEMADE SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE

This is one of my favourite things to make over Easter and it’s so easy & delicious. All you need is
a can of condensed milk,
150g of butter,
3 tsp of dried Milo &
two big bars of 200g of dark chocolate.
I will post my Easter baskets over the weekend for full view.

Method: Empty condensed milk & butter. Turn the heat up and once the mixture becomes warm, turn the heat down half way. ALWAYS keep stirring (this is the best when using a plastic spatula). Keep stirring until the mixture starts thickening up. As this is on a low heat, it might feel like nothing is happening but you will clearly see the difference after. If you don’t stir constantly the mix will start burning on the bottom. Once it becomes thick, take a whisk and add the Milo.

When this is fully mixed through, put into a container and straight into the fridge. Once fully set, you can either use a melon baller to scoop the balls or (like in the photo) line a bread tin with cling film so you can just pop it out and roll the balls with your hands. When this is done, place in freezer. Heat the dark chocolate over a hot water. Make sure that the water is not boiling or the chocolate will burn. I use the microwave but those who have done this before, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Dip the caramel balls into the chocolate and place on greaseproof paper and sprinkle a little bit of course salt on it. Just a tiny bit. Leave to chill in the fridge and then you’re done.
