Ingredients
  • 350 grams granola, with almond butter
  • 100 grams chocolate couverture
  • 100 grams honey
  • 150 grams water
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brandy
  • 100 grams walnuts
  • To assemble
  • 300 grams chocolate couverture, melted
Instructions
  1. 1st Step

    Finely chop the chocolate and set it aside. 

  2. 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.  

  3. 3rd Step

    Add the chocolate and cocoa powder, let the mixture sit for a few seconds, and then remove the saucepan from the heat. 

  4. 4th Step

    Whisk the ingredients well until melted, and set the saucepan aside. 

  5. 5th Step

    Put half of the granola into a chopper blender, beat it until powdered, and transfer it to a bowl. 

  6. 6th Step

    Add the remaining granola, cinnamon, and brandy. 

  7. 7th Step

    Crush the walnuts with your hands into the bowl, and add the saucepan’s mixture. 

  8. 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.)

  9. 9th Step

    Place a piece of parchment paper on your worktop, and pour the mixture along the center of the parchment. 

  10. 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”.

  11. 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.

  12. 12th Step

    Spread a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap on your worktop and set it aside. 

  13. 13th Step

    Remove the roll from the freezer and cut it into 14-16 slices, about 1 cm thick, to create the chocolates.

  14. 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.

  15. 15th Step

    Let them sit for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate sets, and serve.
