Spanish Christmas Chocolate Crisp

Also known as a chocolate turrón, this is a variation of a traditional Spanish turrón euro, which is a hard candy made with almonds, honey & egg whites. Turrón is the Spanish candy most commonly associated with Christmas in Spain. This a delicious, simple make-ahead dessert, making it the perfect bite after a big, holiday meal.

Ingredients

  • 8oz Baking Chocolate, semi-sweet
  • 8 oz Dark Chocolate
  • 3 oz Sliced Almonds
  • 2 3/4oz Rice Krispies
  • 2 1/2 oz Vegetable Shortening, such as Crisco
  • Plastic Container

Melt the chocolate, preferably in a candy maker such as a Wilton. Once melted, stir in the vegetable shortening. When blended and smooth, add the Rice Krispies and sliced almonds. Mix well to coat everything in the chocolate. Pour the melted chocolate in to a plastic mold, such as a silicone mold or a plastic storage container, approximately 5×7 in size. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. Once the chocolate bar is solid, use a knife to loosen the chocolate from the edges. Flip over the container and pull the Turrón out onto a cutting board. Cut into thick slices and enjoy!
