ROASTED ALMOND ROSE BOUNTY ROCKS

Chocolates have mesmerised us for ages! Through the years, so many new and delicious flavours have been introduced. The innumerable types of chocolates and chocolate desserts presented in the market today, are simply astounding!

Here, I have tried to bring together few flavours that I love a lot, in this bounty chocolate, and that is of rose, coconut and roasted almonds. Basically I wanted to create this recipe using white chocolate, which is my most favourite. But then I realised that I didn’t have any, and this milk chocolate baking bar was lying in the pantry untouched, shouting loud to be used soon!

Well, and the results are here for you all to see. Everyone just loved this combination a lot! The process is quite simple and doesn’t require too many efforts, though one has to be quick once the melted chocolate mixture is ready as the remainder can start getting slightly hard very soon, and the chocolate simply starts disintegrating instead of sticking around the coconut balls. Hence I would advice to go about that particular step in batches!
