How To Make Dark Chocolate Modak At Home

A modern twist on a traditional treat, these modaks are crafted with rich, velvety dark chocolate, seamlessly blending the essence of tradition with a delightful cocoa indulgence. Kids, in particular, will adore this version of Modak, where the sweetness of nostalgia meets the irresistible allure of chocolatey goodness.

Instructions:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave or use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate.
  
• Once the chocolate is melted, add rice crispy cereal or puffed rice to the melted chocolate. Mix well until all the cereal is coated with chocolate.
  
• Stir in the chopped nuts and desiccated coconut (if using) to the chocolate mixture. This will add a delightful crunch and flavor to the modaks.
  
• Grease the modak molds or any other mold of your choice with a little ghee or oil.
  
• Take a small portion of the chocolate mixture and press it into the mold to shape it into a modak.
  
• Repeat the process with the rest of the chocolate mixture to make more modaks.
  
• Refrigerate the modaks for about 15-20 minutes or until they firm up.
  
• Once set, gently remove the modaks from the molds and place them on a serving plate.
