Chocolate Bytes

.. aka “The fastest way of making cookie-like things around Christmas”. We've been making them now three years in a row and they are always well received. For one tray of something like 15–20 of them you'll need 100g Chocolate (milk and white both work, we usually take either the one with the sportive knight or the one with the cow with the pigment defect) and 30g Cornflakes1). Melt the chocolate in a water quench, pour the molten goodness into a bowl and add the cornflakes. With a spoon, give it a good mix so that all cornflakes are equally covered in chocolate. Then take two small spoons and use them to make small heaps of the mass on a tray2) with baking parchment on it. After that you'll have to wait until the chocolate has hardened. This will take some time and I can't even give an estimate here as we usually just make the C.B.s in the evening and harvest them on the next morning – but when you can touch them without them falling apart and your fingers becoming sticky, they are probably done ;-)

Making one tray usually keeps me busy for something like 15min, so they are really a quick hack in terms of sweets. If you got a bit more time on your hands, I can recommend Chocolate Chip Cookies. We already baked them three times this holiday season3), following this recipe [DE].

1) or approx. 300ml, we use a drinking glass for measurement
2) or the top of your kitchen counter or table, or whatever flat and even surface you can find in or around your kitchen which won't be needed for a couple of hours
3) they get eaten faster than I can bake them…

Try to mix it with some almond. Works great and gives the chocolate a special taste. ;)
