How to make chocolate icing for candy

According to this recipe for making chocolates in cezvu, you need to measure the products for the chocolate glaze. You can use another recipe if you have your own favorite in this matter. Options with the use of milk, condensed milk, ready-made chocolate are possible.

We set the cezve to minimum heat. Stir the contents periodically. When the mass becomes homogeneous and gives out a couple of "gurgles", remove the chocolate icing from the heat, let it cool slightly. We lay out the tartlets on a flat dish.

Hazelnuts are large, so one nut per tartlet will be enough. But the peanuts are too small, so put 3 pieces each.

Pour nuts in tartlets with cooled (but not frozen) glaze. So the waffle will not soften, it will retain its shape. The glaze does not flow, but literally slides out of the cezve's nose in small portions. With the edge of a teaspoon, pick up the coconut crumb, which we crush on top of the chocolate mass. Chocolate glaze hardens in tartlets in just 20 minutes, but remains soft.
