    I usually slather a huge spoon of peanut butter or cocoa peanut butter on my warm toast. But, I wanted to create something new and combined the seasonal chestnuts and dark chocolate to make a delicious spread. Now it is our favorite.

    What are Chestnuts?

    Chestnuts are hard-skinned nuts that are very popular in Europe, USA and Asian counties. Chestnuts are also called Marroni or Marrons in Switzerland, Spain and other European countries. Roasted marroni or chestnuts are a very popular European street food in the winters. We buy the warm roasted marronis from the street vendors here in Europe. The raw chestnuts can be roasted or cooked to use in many dishes such as cakes, cookies and soups. Read more about them here.

    Ingredients of choco chestnut spread:

    Cooked Chestnuts: I have used cooked nuts to prepare the spread. You can also use the roasted marroni or frozen nuts.

    Dark Chocolate: I have used semi-sweet dark chocolate. Use non-dairy one if you are vegan.

    Sugar

    Vanilla Essence

    Salt

    How long can you store marroni spread?

    This recipe can’t be stored for a very long time. It keeps well for 7-10 days if it stored properly in the refrigerator.

    Step by step instructions:

    • Take the measure cooked chestnuts to a blender and add ½ cup of water to it. Make sure the outer layers are removed.
    • If you are using frozen nuts, thaw them before making the spread.
    • Blend it well to make a smooth and creamy puree. Make sure there are no chunks.
    • Transfer the puree to a pan. Add the measured sugar, vanilla and salt to it and combine well.
    • Keep stirring and cook the mixture for about 7-8 minutes or till the mixture thickens.
    • When the mixture thickens, turn off the flame.
    • Immediately, add the chopped dark chocolate to the pan and combine it together. Make sure you add the chocolate when the chestnut mixture is still hot.
    • Keep mixing till the chocolate is melted.
    • Let it cool completely before you store it in an airtight container. This spread will thicken more as it cools.
    • Don’t forget to store it in the refrigerator.
