Indeed, these tigernut treats pack a big chocolatey punch. The centers are creamy with bits of granola inside. Tigernuts have been eaten for centuries. Furthermore, eaten and used medicinally in ancient Egypt.
Nevertheless, I was gifted some very tasty Tigernut Spread and Tigernut Granola from Natureul.com. I waited anxiously for my package. As soon as it arrived I opened up the Granola and was so over the moon happy when it was so delicious. I immediately thought of this recipe. I couldn’t wait to make it.
Obviously, it made me think of Easter. I don’t know why, but it did. Hippity-hoppity Easter is on its way. Evidently, Spring is here. Of course, it doesn’t appear to be where I am, as we are still getting snow. Not to mention, I get to be that grandma who makes my grandchildren homemade candy.

Chef Notes:
Place chocolates into the freezer for less breakage of certain chocolate molds. Be careful when removing chocolate from the molds. Incidentally, I broke the ears off of several of my bunny truffles chocolates. However, the ones I froze were easier to remove. Tap the large Chocolate Chip mold on the counter to allow the chocolate to reach the tips.
Be careful and watch where the steam is when using a double boiler. Please note that depending on what size mold will determine how many servings are made. The recipe makes 4.7 ounces.
