Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Line a tray of about 15×20 cm with baking paper.
- Knead the chestnut purée with the icing sugar, butter and liqueur until smooth.
- Press the mixture onto the baking paper and smooth it to about 1 cm thick.
- Melt the chocolate (in the microwave in 30-second bursts, or over steam) and spread it evenly over the chestnut layer.
- Chill for 1 hour, until the chocolate hardens. Then carefully flip the whole thing over, peel off the paper, and scatter coloured sugar pearls over the chestnut side.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife and store in the fridge.

Tips
- Let the chocolate cool a little before spreading it on the mixture, so it does not melt the butter.
- Scatter the colourful decoration on the chestnut side before the mixture dries out completely, so it sticks.
- Slice with a warmed knife to get neat, clean squares.
- For Christmas decorate with red and green sugar pearls, for Easter with pastel colours.
- It keeps in an airtight box in the fridge for 1 week.
