Unless you just woke up from a 17-day coma, you've no doubt heard of this thing called the "Winter Olympics". If you DID just wake up from a 17-day coma, welcome back. We've missed you, your contributions to society, AND you're just in time for one of the most intensive hockey match ups EVER.
That's right. Men's ice hockey finals. The gold medal game between Team Canada and Team U.S.A. Now this site is all about food, but that doesn't mean you can't draw inspiration from the other simple pleasures of life. This recipe's for all you hockey fans out there. The B.L.T. Project proudly presents, Pucks du Chocolat!
What's sweeter? These biscuits or a home-ice victory? You decide.
Pucks du Chocolat
Ingredients
- Twelve (12) Ritz crackers (The 65% less sodium variety is ideal)
- 1/4 of a banana, sliced into thin wafers
- 200g of dark, bittersweet chocolate
- Two (2) Tbsp of Nutella
- Two (2) Tbsp of Peanut butter
Makes six biscuits
1. In a microwave bowl, heat chocolate on high for 3 minutes. Stir chocolate to ensure everything is melted.
2. While chocolate is melting spread peanut butter and/or Nutella on two open faced Ritz crackers.
3. Place in slice of banana in the center of one cracker and sandwich the other on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
4. Using a spoon, dip the Ritz sandwich in the melted chocolate, flipping over the biscuit to cover completely.
5. Place the finished biscuits on a sheet of wax or parchment paper and freeze immediately for 5 minutes.
6. Savor as Team Canada takes home another gold medal.
A few tips:
- Regarding the chocolate, you can buy a large brick or a small bag of chocolate chips. If you find yourself cooking with chocolate chips often then the bag is your best bet. It may be more expensive, but it's easier to cook with since you don't have to manually shave the chocolate yourself.
-Feel free to mix up the Nutella with the peanut butter and let the Project know how it tastes in the comment section.
-Serve with a glass of moo moo juice (milk).
-One final note: GO CANADA GO! Bring home the gold boys and make us proud.
