Total time to make: 15 minutes. Allow an hour to cool in fridge.

Ingredients

150g of 70% chocolate fondant

100g of 90% dark chocolate

100g of peanut butter

12 medium size, washed and dried, strawberries, dehulled. (If your strawberries are very big, cut in half)

½ tsp of Himalaya or sea salt

Kitchen Items

Heat resistant glass bowl for melting chocolate

Pan of boiling water

Wooden spoon

Small whisk

Parchment paper

12 cocktails sticks

Silicone chocolate mould for 14 chocolates

Method

1. Place a glass bowl over the pan of boiling water on a low heat setting.

2. Break up chocolate and put it and the salt into the glass bowl, stir until melted.

3. Meanwhile, thread cocktail sticks into the strawberries at the tip end.

4. Lay out enough paper parchment on a work surface to contain all the strawberries.

5. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate. Only dunk about ¾ of the strawberry in the chocolate, holding onto the cocktail stick. Allow some of the chocolate to drip back into the pan and twirl the strawberry until no chocolate is dripping off.

6. Lay each strawberry on the parchment to cool.

7. With the remaining chocolate, stir in 100g of peanut butter & whisk until well blended. Turn off heat.

8. Pour the mixture (using heat proof gloves to hold the glass dish), into a heatproof glass or stainless-steel jug.

9. Pour mixture into the mould.

10. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and place in a refrigerator for an hour.

11. Swipe up any remaining warm chocolate with your fingers and lick!
