Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 20 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop 150 grams of the dark chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl. Set the remaining 50 grams aside for later.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften.

Step 4

Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the ganache and stir until fully combined. Let the ganache cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until it firms up but is still pliable.

Step 6

Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop the ganache into 16 portions. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands. For a pointed 'kiss' shape, pinch one end gently.

Step 7

Melt the reserved 50 grams of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 8

Dip each ganache 'kiss' into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

If desired, dust the finished 'kisses' with cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 10

Refrigerate the finished 'Chocolate Kisses' for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate shell. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
