NOTES
1. Chocolate: You can vary wonderfully with the types of chocolate. This recipe is made with 3 types of chocolate, but of course, you can use any kind you like.
2. Butter: You add the butter so that the chocolates do not become hard through and through, but remain slightly creamy.
3. Pepernoten: You can make this with pepernoten, but it is also very tasty to prepare it with speculaas, Biscoff cookies, speculoos or gingerbread.
4. Storage
- Room Temperature: Store the chocolates at Room Temperature, in the dark. This way they stay good for up to 2 weeks.
- Refrigerator: Always store chocolate at room temperature. If you store it in the refrigerator (which is a humid environment), a white haze will form on the chocolate due to the condensation. However, if it gets so hot that your chocolate melts, keep it in an airtight box in the refrigerator for as short a time as possible. And take it out again when it cools down.
- Freezer: Although you don't expect it, you can freeze chocoladeflikken. Let them cool in the fridge for an hour and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Then put them in a freezer box. This way they stay good for up to a month. Let thaw at room temperature. This way they stay good for up to a month (it may be that the texture of the gingerbread cookies changes slightly)
