Delicious Chocolate Treats for Autumn

Begin by chopping 200 grams of dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

In a small saucepan, heat 100 milliliters of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until firm enough to handle. Once ready, use a spoon to scoop small amounts and roll them into balls, then coat them with 30 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking pan. In a saucepan, melt 250 grams of unsalted butter over low heat.

Remove from heat and stir in 200 grams of granulated sugar until well combined.

Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, melt 100 grams of dark chocolate and fold it into the mixture.

Finally, gently mix in 150 grams of all-purpose flour until just combined. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

To prepare mint chocolates, start by melting 100 grams of white chocolate in a bowl over simmering water until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in 10 drops of peppermint extract to give it a refreshing flavor.

Pour the melted mixture into molds or onto parchment paper and let it set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
