Instructions
-
1st Step
Finely chop the chocolate and set it aside.
-
2nd Step
Place a saucepan over high heat, add the honey and water, and heat up the mixture for 3 minutes until it comes to a boil.
-
3rd Step
Add the chocolate and cocoa powder, let the mixture sit for a few seconds, and then remove the saucepan from the heat.
-
4th Step
Whisk the ingredients well until melted, and set the saucepan aside.
-
5th Step
Put half of the granola into a chopper blender, beat it until powdered, and transfer it to a bowl.
-
6th Step
Add the remaining granola, cinnamon, and brandy.
-
7th Step
Crush the walnuts with your hands into the bowl, and add the saucepan’s mixture.
-
8th Step
Mix the ingredients with a silicone spatula until completely combined. (Ideally, let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to bind.)
-
9th Step
Place a piece of parchment paper on your worktop, and pour the mixture along the center of the parchment.
-
10th Step
Wrap the mixture into a roll using the parchment paper, making sure it's not completely cylindrical, so that the slices you cut later will have the characteristic shape of the “karioka”.
-
11th Step
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap, twist the ends like a candy wrapper, and transfer it to the freezer for at least 2 hours.
-
12th Step
Spread a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your worktop and set it aside.
-
13th Step
Remove the roll from the freezer and cut it into 14-16 slices, about 1 cm thick, to create the chocolates.
-
14th Step
Dip the chocolates one by one into the bowl with the melted chocolate using a fork, making sure they are completely coated. Let any excess chocolate drain off, and place them on the parchment paper.
-
15th Step
Let them sit for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate sets, and serve.
