Ingredients

• 250 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 100 grams Raisins
• 60 milliliters Dark rum
• 15 grams Butter
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour over the dark rum. Allow the raisins to soak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

Step 2

Line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 3

In a heat-proof bowl, place the dark chocolate and butter. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler technique), making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Step 4

Stir the chocolate and butter gently until completely melted and smooth, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Drain the soaked raisins, reserving the leftover rum for another use or to add a bit later to the chocolate.

Step 6

Stir the raisins, a pinch of sea salt, and the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate. If desired, you can add a tablespoon of the reserved rum to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the chocolate has fully set.

Step 10

Once set, remove the chocolate from the pan using the parchment overhang and place it on a cutting board.

Step 11

Cut into 16 pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
