Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Make the filling
Bring the milk and sugar to a boil, add the Hera baking margarine, and stir in the ground nuts. Mix well, cover with a lid, and let the nuts steep in the hot mixture without cooking any further.
Melt the chocolate
Melt the shortening over simmering water or in the microwave, add the chocolate broken into pieces, and stir until smooth.
Fill the cups
Pour about ½ tbsp of the chocolate mixture into the bottom of each paper candy cup and let it set slightly. Add a teaspoon of nut filling, then pour more chocolate over it to cover the filling completely.
Decorate
Before the chocolate sets completely, top each cup with a candy-coated chocolate, a nut, or an almond, or sprinkle with coconut or ground nuts. Let set in a cool place.

Tip: Double up the paper candy cups or place them in a muffin pan so they do not spread under the melted chocolate and the cups keep an even shape.
