Valentine's Day Chocolate Stick Rusks Made With Bread Crusts
- 160 grams Bread crusts from 6-8 slices of bread
- 70 grams Margarine
- 30 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 to 120 grams Chocolate
- Use the bread crusts in long pieces.
- Put the margarine in a bowl and melt it in the microwave.
- Toss with the crusts.
- Sprinkle in the granulated sugar and mix quickly.
- Put in a preheated 150C oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Leave to cool once they are done.
- Put the chocolate in a tall, deep cup and melt it in the microwave.
- Hold the cup diagonally as you dip the cooled, crispy rusks in the chocolate to coat them.
- Tap each rusk inside the cup to remove any excess chocolate.
- Put the chocolate covered rusks on a sheet of kitchen parchment paper, and leave to cool or chill in the refrigerator.
- You can wrap them up prettily for Valentine's Day.
- The chocolate may not be enough to coat all the rusks, so add more or just leave some rusks uncoated.
- Add a little hot water to the chocolate left in the cup to turn it into a hot chocolate drink.
- Take the chocolate or margarine out of the microwave while there are still some lumps left, and mix to melt completely.
- Chocolate in particular can burn, so watch out for that.
- If the crusts are too thin they may break when you're tossing them in the margarine and sugar.
- I recommend cutting them off rather thickly.
- Tip: if you toss the crusts in a bowl they tend to break easily, but if you use a shallow tray they don't.
