Yield Makes about 30

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted, slightly cooled
Toppings as desired (such as pecan halves; dried tart cherries; thinly sliced dried figs; thinly sliced candied ginger; puffed quinoa or rice; salted, roasted pumpkin seeds; bee pollen; flaky sea salt; and/or demerara sugar)

Steps:

  • Turn a rimmed baking sheet over and place a sheet of parchment paper on top. Spoon or pipe quarter-size mounds of chocolate onto parchment, spacing about 2" apart (you should have about 30). Using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread outward in a circular motion to make silver-dollar-size disks. Top as desired. (You don't need to use all the toppings on every disk.) Chill until cold and set, 30-35 minutes.
  • Carefully peel candies off of parchment just before serving.
  • Do Ahead
  • Candies can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Categories     Candy

Time 19m

Yield 50 chocolates, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces best-quality dark chocolate
2 tablespoons green pistachio nuts
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup blanched almond
4 ounces candied orange peel (in strips)

Steps:

  • Place a sheet of waxed paper on a marble slab or other smooth, cold surface. Melt chocolate in a microwave oven or in a bowl over hot water. (To make life easier only melt 1/2 the chocolate first then the other half).
  • Place a scant teaspoonful of melted chocolate on the sheet, and shape into a disk using the back of a spoon. Make several at a time so that the chocolate does not become too cool.
  • Place a pistachio, raisin, almond, and halved strip of orange peel on each disk, and leave to cool completely.
  • The mendiants are ready when they come off the waxed paper with ease.
