4 Delicious Chocolate and Toffee Recipes

Lorna Spacey

We asked foodie Lorna Spacey to create four unique sweet recipes. The creative twist? Each treat has a delicious dose of Amajoya candy.

Take your pick from these four easy sweet recipes made with a delicious dose of Amajoya candy. We created them especially for Easter, but they’re perfect for birthday parties, movie nights (the caramel popcorn only takes 25 minutes to make!), and pretty much any time you need to feel a little more joy. There’s even a sugar-free recipe for those watching waistlines.

Candy Chocolate Bark

This is one of our favourite recipes for Easter. It’s also perfect for any day when you are feeling a little extra – the colours are so fun and playful that just looking at them will make you happy. Add these to kiddies’ party tables or pop into lunchboxes as a treat.

Serves 10-12 depending on size

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Set time: 30 minutes | Total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Be careful not to overheat it. When the chocolate is completely melted, remove and stir until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it in a heat-safe bowl set over a saucepan with simmering water.
  2. Cover a large baking tray with baking paper and evenly pour out the melted chocolate.
  3. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the chocolate, followed by the chopped Amajoya candy.
  4. Set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes or until hard.
  5. Once the chocolate bark is completely hardened, gently remove the baking paper and use your hands to break it into rough pieces. Serve immediately and store in a sealed container for up to 10 days.
