Use up chocolate leftovers: delicious ideas

Chocolate can be used in many recipes. Therefore, you have various options for processing the leftovers:

  • You can make great muffins with the leftover chocolate. Here they are suitable for chocolate muffins as well as for muffins with chocolate chips or icing.
  • Of course, you can also bake a cake with it instead of muffins. The chocolate is perfect, for example, for a coffee and chocolate cake or a delicious chocolate mug cake.
  • If you are more of a cookie lover, you can also bake cookies with chocolate. If you have different types of chocolate left over, you can make triple chocolate cookies yourself. Otherwise, you can also bake delicious chocolate chip cookies.
  • For a delicious chocolate pudding, you must first boil the pudding. This works ideally with a mixture of starch and milk. Then you have to add the finely grated chocolate and stir until it has melted.
  • Leftover chocolate is also perfect for chocolate fruit. To do this, melt the chocolate and then dip the fruit of your choice into it. You can use strawberries, grapes, or pieces of kiwi for this, for example.
  • Chocolate crosses are a delicious snack in between and can be made quickly and easily at home. To do this, melt 200 grams of chocolate and mix it with 100 grams of cornflakes. Form the Crosses out of it and then let them harden in the fridge.
