Chocolate Harlequin Pistachios
Warm some sweet chocolate by pounding it in a hot mortar;
when it is reduced to a malleable paste, take a little of it and wrap round a blanched pistachio nut, roll it in the hand to form it as neat as you can, throw it in some nonpareils of various colours; let it be covered all over. Dispose of the whole in the same manner; fold them in coloured or fancy papers, with mottoes, the ends should be cut like fringe. Almonds may be done the same way, using vanilla chocolate, if preferred. |
