List of Ingredients





6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup honey
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder (for dusting)


Lightly oil a marble or granite surface or cookie sheet. Do not use Teflon or similarly coated cookie sheet. Set aside until needed.

With a large-hole, hand-held grater, grate the chocolate into a medium-size bowl or pie tin.

Combine the grated chocolate and remaining ingredients (except for the cocoa) in a medium-size, heavy sauce pan. Blend the ingredients with a large metal kitchen spoon.

Stirring occasionally, heat to a boil over moderately high heat and continue cooking until the mixture reaches 238 degrees.

Carefully pour out the hot mixture onto the oiled surface -- do not spread -- and allow to cool.

Using a pastry scraper, gather into a ball and dust lightly with cocoa powder. Roll into a log about 1 inch thick. Dust again with cocoa, place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm or overnight.

Unwrap and slice into 1-inch-wide pieces. The slice will give each piece a pillow shape. Place in cookie tin or candy box and cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Place in individual candy papers or foil cups. Makes about 48 pieces.
