S’mores & Rice Krispies Treats Mashup

What’s more legendary than a S’more? Well, a Rice Krispies Treats and S’mores mashup, of course.

In this fun recipe, Chef Melissa Coppel reinterprets two of the most precious flavors of our childhood to concoct these bites.

They marry a Rice Krispies Treats base that’s both chewy and crunchy—the perfect texture to build on other flavors.

Then, Chef Melissa stacks it with a gorgeous Brown Butter Caramel and a Graham Cracker Duja (a sort of cookie butter) that’s a flavorful nod to that must-have campfire cookie.

For that ultimate S’mores experience, each bar is coated in chocolate.

Matcha, Rose, and Pistachio Mini Candy Bars

They look almost like petits fours, but Chef Melissa Coppel makes these Matcha, Rose, and Pistachio Mini Tarts only with chocolate.

With their perfectly-earthy matcha ganache, 80% homemade pistachio praliné, and Rice Krispies and pistachio crunch, these chocolate bites offer an incredible depth of flavor that’ll have you coming back for more. Plus, they have an amazing shelf life of over 60 days!

Do you want to enrobe them? Or do you prefer to leave them open?

Both options are perfect, as Chef Melissa teaches you how to infuse white chocolate with a fragrant rose tea to close your chocolate “tarts” (the perfect alternative to semispherical bonbons) if you don’t have an enrobing machine.

Künefe Candy Bars (Melissa Coppel’s Take on the Dubai Bar)

Chocolate, pistachios, and kataifi have taken over the world thanks to the Dubai bar!
 
But did you know that in 2019, Chef Melissa Coppel had already created a bonbon with a similar concept? She filled her chocolates with a kataifi pistachio praliné and a white chocolate orange blossom ganache.
 
The idea started with Künefe or Knafeh. The first time Chef Melissa tried this Middle-Eastern dessert (consisting of a soft cheese covered in crunchy kataifi layers that’s served hot with a scoop of ice cream and syrup), she was so fascinated that she had to make something with it!
 
Six years later, these Künefe candy bars take those same flavor notes to give Dubai bars a floral, unique touch.

Vanilla and Macadamia Spanish Turrón by Enric Monzonis

Did you know the vanilla beans on these turrones (or Spanish chocolate candy bars) are not real?

Flavor meets artistry in these Vanilla and Macadamia Turrón bars by Chef Enric Monzonis.

In this recipe, you will start by making a long shelf life Salted Vanilla Bean Toffee that is fudgy, gooey,  and has a nice touch of salt.

Then, Chef Monzonis shows you his fuss-free oven method for caramelizing macadamia nuts (or any nut) and turning them into a creamy, unique praliné recipe.

But this recipe isn’t all about the flavors. Elevate your chocolate candy bars by giving them a white velvet finish with vanilla bean seeds using the spray gun.

Finish your turrones by creating a simple dark chocolate replica (or trompe l’oeil) of a vanilla bean.

The contrast of colors and finishing touches—between matte and glossy, black and white—makes this turrón a sight to see (and enjoy).
