They are easy to make and quickly finished. What you have to do for the simple variant of chocolates is easy. You have to melt chocolate. Whether dark chocolate or milk chocolate, use what you like the most.
Splits the melted chocolate and mix cornflakes below or chopped almonds. You can put a small teaspoon heaps on a lined with baking paper. Or if you have the appropriate forms of plastic you can get out the heart-shaped chocolates, or muffin tin.

Once chocolate and cream have connected to a velvety cream (ganache), handed over the biscuits and mix everything into a homogeneous mass. Covered in refrigerator at least 2 hours cool until the mixture is firm and easy to work with. By and by parting with a teaspoon of small portions of the chocolate biscuit mass, quickly forms between your palms into balls and roll immediately in the grated coconut until they are completely covered with it.
  
No matter how you prepared your chocolates they need at least 5 hours in the refrigerator so that the chocolate hardens.

Birthday Cakes

In the whole year waiting for one day: Your Birthday!
I had the pleasure to make two cakes for two direct me loving people. The great thing about birthday cakes you can make your ideas run free. Therefore, I have made a slightly smaller round cake with a chocolate cake bottom and a vanilla cream filling covered ​​with cream and sprinkles.

The other cake was a little more complicated. Was decorated in a rectangular shape and with lots of sweets and the cake was  still easy on the stomach. The cake interior consisted of a light cake bottom down on a strawberry cream and a white chocolate mousse and whipped cream and finally a dyed in pink cake floor. Outside the cake was covered with a chocolate cream. Like a fence were attached Caprice rods on the cream. Before the cake is decorated to an end, they must be placed only in the refrigerator so that the cream is set. Once the cream is set, anyone can put on the cake candies. It is possible to decorate the cake with everything.

Nutella in puff pastry

With Nutella one can make a lot. The easiest way is to take a spoon, dip into the Nutella and sweeten the day. I show you how you can easily and quickly conjure small sweet delights ... With Nutella!

Today I'll show you to use a simple variant of Nutella. If mother, grandmother or even yourself prepared something salty like feta cheese in puff pastry or something else sweet what a hard dough requires and makes the dough for yourself ... Yes then puts a piece of the dough to side.
Takes the Nutella out of the closet and a knife. I have also used some butter, but that's your choice. Takes two parts of the dough and roll it from. Power if it works out two large rolls of dough. If you've rolled out the dough then you take some butter and smeared it on both sheets of dough. Then comes the Nutella on it as much as you want, depending as desired. If you have deleted it, the Nutella, you lay a rolled dough on the other. So that the Nutella and butter lie in between.

Then you cut with the knife thin strips about 2cm wide. And roll one strip in each other and at the same time in a helical loop. 

Emphasizes something egg above the dough so they do not become too hard.

Bakes the little delicacy at about 180 ° C for about half an hour until they are golden brown.









And finished the Nutella in puff pastry. They taste best when they are fresh from the oven. But ... Careful hot! If you want to have more sweet then you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar. Another good idea if you have nuts at home, chop small and spread it on the dough with the Nutella. This is an extra crispy treat.
