Dry the hazelnuts in a frying pan for 3-5 minutes - this will make it easier to remove the skins from them, and this will improve the taste of the candies themselves (if using already peeled hazelnuts, you should not skip this step). Place the hazelnuts on a paper towel, cover with a second one and rub lightly to remove the skins from the nuts.

Transfer the hazelnuts to a blender and grind into fine crumbs, pour into a bowl.

Place prunes in a blender bowl and grind them into a homogeneous mass. Place prunes in a bowl with nuts, add honey. Mix everything thoroughly.

How to cook prunes in chocolate with peanuts

Before making prunes in chocolate, remove the seeds from the dried fruits and lightly fry the nuts. If the prunes are dry enough, pour boiling water over them and leave them in the water for 10-15 minutes. If the prunes are already pitted and soft enough, then you can skip this step.

Carefully cut the prunes in the middle and place one nut in each. Close the prunes and press lightly with your hands to form a dense berry.

It is best to melt chocolate in a water bath or microwave - it is very important that it does not burn or boil. You can also use a double boiler, slow cooker, or a regular bowl of hot water.

Break the chocolate into several small pieces to help it melt faster. Add milk to it and heat it. To ensure the mass is homogeneous, the chocolate must be stirred constantly - use a wooden or plastic spoon for this.

Prepare a sheet of parchment paper or a regular silicone baking mat.

Gently dip each prune piece into the chocolate and place on paper. For convenience, use skewers, wooden sticks or a regular toothpick.

Place the prunes in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden well.

• dark chocolate – 150-180g
• wine – 200-250 ml
• sugar – 1-3 tbsp. lie

Preparation

Advice. To give the sweets an unusual taste, walnut kernels can be pre-dried for 10-20 minutes in the oven and cooled.

Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a water bath or in the microwave. Place one at a time in a bowl of melted chocolate and “wrap” each stuffed prune on all sides. The coverage should be as uniform as possible. Using a fork, remove the homemade Charm candy and transfer it to a plate greased with a thin layer of odorless vegetable oil (to make it easier to remove the candy).

Be careful. The candies are not very sweet, but very healthy.
And tasty, just for everyone, they are for those who love prunes and mildly sweet treats.
Very good for children!
And these candies are also very easy to prepare!

Ingredients:
200 gr. Prunes (pitted)
6 pcs. Walnuts (shelled 25-30 gr.)
2 tbsp. (10 gr.) Sesame (white)
1-3 tbsp. Honey (with 1 spoon very slightly sweet)
1 tsp Lemon (or orange) zest (I do it without zest)
1 tbsp. Rum (cognac, liqueur) optional
Lenten cookies or nuts - for sprinkling (deboning)

Preparation:
For such sweets, it is advisable to take sweet prunes. If it is hard, you need to soak it in water until it becomes soft.
Place the prunes in a blender (or you can mince them).

Grind until smooth. I draw your attention - if you cook according to the double (or more) option - grind the prunes in batches of 200 grams. The prunes are crushed into a very viscous mass and, when chopping a large volume at a time, the blender can burn out (the knives get stuck).

Place the mixture from the blender into a bowl.
Add finely chopped walnuts and all other ingredients.

To stir thoroughly.

Place the mixture on cling film or foil. Wrap into a sausage shape and place in the refrigerator to cool (at least 1 hour).

Grind nuts or cookies into fine crumbs.
Take the sausage out of the refrigerator, cut it into 16-18 pieces (how many pieces depends only on your desire, what size you want the candy to be).

Roll each part into balls with your hands and roll in crumbs.

Our sweets are ready!
