A confectionery that you can easily make at home. Especially good at Easter and Christmas.

1 cup ground up nuts
3 tablespoons good chocolate powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
white of 1 egg
2 tablespoons icing/confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon water
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Beat the white of the egg until frothy.
- Add the sugar then the water and then the maple syrup.
- Mix well.
- Gradually work in the chocolate powder.
- Knead until a soft dough is formed.
- Add more chocolate powder and/or confectioner's sugar if the dough is too tacky.
- Roll into small balls, dusting hands with confectioner's sugar.
- roll each ball in confectioner's sugar and then in the nuts.
- Press firmly so that the nuts stick in well.
- Leave for 1 hour.

not sure what went wrong with mine, but 3 tablespoons of chocolate powder and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar turned into about 2 cups of chocolate powder (it used up all the cocoa powder I had left in the pantry and so I had to start using drinking chocolate !) and a good cup of icing sugar (in fact I just had to add and add and add whatever I could find so lost count in the end).

That was for my 1 egg white (from our own chickens so maybe they were too fresh ?!), and slightly under 3 tablespoons of maple sirrup (it's the maple syrup that you pour on pancakes right ? not sure if there's a more solid version but that's all I had...Pure canadian maple syrup..)

formed a dough in the end...but took a long time and a huge amount of chocolate powder..
