No‑bake chocolate delight: Create your own stained glass cookies

The name "windows" comes from the light pieces embedded in the mass, resembling church windows' colourful, decorative glass. This dessert is reminiscent of the well-known chocolate block but in an even simpler form. All you need is chocolate, butter, and a few colourful additions.

This dessert is essentially a cross between homemade chocolates and cookies. It is sweet, easy to make, and delicious. Stained glass cookies are a true feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Their name perfectly reflects their appearance - they resemble colourful stained glass that sparkles in bright hues. It's not only a tasty dessert but also a delightful decoration for any table. No chocolate lover will walk past these cookies without notice.

Ingredients:

• 100 g dark chocolate,
• 100 g milk chocolate,
• 100 g pastel mini marshmallows,
• 75 g chopped walnuts.

Preparation Method:

Step 1. Break the dark and milk chocolate into pieces and transfer them to a saucepan. Add butter and heat until the ingredients melt into a uniform mixture.

Step 2. Chop the walnuts and add them to the melted chocolate. Also, add the small, light-coloured marshmallows. The more additions you include, the more distinct the stained glass effect will be. Pour the mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. The smaller the tin, the larger the cookie will be. Refrigerate for a few hours, preferably overnight. You can sprinkle the top of the dessert with coconut flakes or shreds.

Step 3. After this time, cut the block into smaller pieces and indulge in the sweet chocolate flavour. Store the dessert in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cut stained glass pieces by placing them in a ziplock bag. Take them out of the freezer and place them in the refrigerator, or leave them at room temperature. Enjoy!
