Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp corn syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp ground hazelnuts
- 6 oz dark chocolate
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, golden corn syrup, and brown sugar over low heat, stirring continuously until the butter has completely melted. |
| 2 | Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the flour and ground hazelnuts to the mixture. Thoroughly combine until all ingredients are fully incorporated. |
| 3 | On greased cookie sheets, place quarter teaspoons of the mixture approximately 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes, or until the snaps turn a beautiful golden hue. |
| 4 | Once baked, remove the cookie sheets from the oven and allow the snaps to cool on the trays for 2-3 minutes, or until they are firm enough to handle. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely at room temperature. |
| 5 | In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or using a microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy. |
| 6 | Dip half of each snap into the melted chocolate, ensuring to shake off any excess chocolate, then place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets until the chocolate sets. |
| 7 | Once the chocolate has set, store the chocolate snaps in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 2 days to preserve their freshness and crunchiness. Enjoy these delectable treats with friends and family during the festive season or any time you crave a delightful indulgence! 🎄🍪 |
