Kariokes

Recipe-Ingrediants

Delicious kariokes for treats, rich in chocolate, nuts, and raisins with hints of orange. Our base is made from cookies, but you can also make excellent kariokes using leftover cake, a pie, or sweet bread.

• If we have leftover cake: We crumble the cake and add crushed walnuts, a few blond raisins (optional), a little cognac, a little orange syrup, and finely chopped pieces of sweet orange. If desired, we can also add a pinch of cinnamon. Caution: When adding liquids, we need to gradually incorporate them and shape the dough to achieve a firm consistency. We shape them into small rolls and place them in the refrigerator to cool thoroughly. While they cool, we melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Then, we take the roll out and cut it into slices. Using a fork, we dip each slice into the melted chocolate. We place them on a rack and refrigerate them. Finally, we wrap them in aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator.
