Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup slivered almonds chopped
  •  chocolate 
  • cup coconut shredded sweetened plus more to garnish
  •  fun-sized chocolate-coated nougat and peanut candy bars soft

Equipment

  • plastic wrap
  • aluminum foil
  • ziploc bags
  • muffin liners
  • muffin tray
  • pastry brush

Directions

  1. Place 24 paper or foil cupcake liners in cupcake or muffin pans.
  2. When preparing the nougat, add the coconut and almonds and set aside.
  3. Have the tempered chocolate at 90°F/34°C. Using a small paintbrush or pastry brush, paint the inside of the cupcake liners with a thick coating of chocolate. Allow the chocolate cupcake liners to set in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes. Fill each about half full with the coconut-nougat mixture, leaving a margin of chocolate along the top edge so the final coat of chocolate will adhere to it and seal the cups. Return the cups to the refrigerator for another 5 minutes, then top each with the finishing layer of chocolate and refrigerate again for 5 minutes to set. Decorate or sprinkle with shredded coconut.
  4. Remove from the muffin pan, and serve the cups with or without the liners.
  5. Store in an airtight container, a zip-top plastic bag, or plastic wrap at room temperature for 2 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or freezer for 1 month.
