nuggets, ideal for your pastries or even to snack on straight away.\nFollow this practical guide and discover how to make these little chocolate wonders with ease.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gather ingredients<\/h2>\n\n<p>Before starting your preparation, it&#8217;s essential to gather all the necessary ingredients.\nFirst, choose a <strong>chocolate bar<\/strong> of your choice: dark, milk or white, depending on your preferences.\nYou may also need a little <strong>butter<\/strong> if you wish to give your nuggets a more melting texture.\nYou&#8217;ll also need to prepare a container in which to transfer your nuggets once they&#8217;re ready.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking the chocolate<\/h2>\n\n<p>To begin, roughly break the chocolate bar into pieces.\nPlace these pieces in the bowl of your <strong>Thermomix<\/strong>.\nThis step is crucial, as it&#8217;s important not to have chunks that are too large, which could make mixing more difficult later on.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crush the chocolate<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once the chocolate is in the bowl, let it stand for about 5 minutes.\nThis will allow the chocolate to soften a little without melting completely.\nNext, set your Thermomix to <strong>speed 7<\/strong> and blend for 4-5 seconds to crush the chocolate.\nThe result should be uniformly sized pieces of chocolate, perfect for nuggets.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using chocolate chips<\/h2>\n\n<p>All that&#8217;s left to do is pour the crushed pieces into a container.\nYou can use them immediately in your <strong>cookie<\/strong> or <strong>muffin<\/strong> recipes, or incorporate them into a <a href=\"https:\/\/accessormix.com\/en\/recette-facile-de-gateau-au-thermomix-astuces-et-conseils-2\/\">Thermomix cake<\/a>.\nIf you want to save them for later, store them in a cool, dry place, or even

a few simple steps, you&#8217;ll be able to obtain magnificent nuggets ready to add to your cookies, cakes or other sweet treats.\nFollow this guide to find out how to make your own chocolate chips quickly and efficiently.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing the ingredients<\/h2>\n\n<p>Before you start making your own chocolate chips, it&#8217;s essential to gather all the <strong>necessary ingredients<\/strong>.\nTo make chocolate chips, all you need is a chocolate bar of your choice.\nDark, milk or white chocolate, depending on your tastes, will do just fine.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Make sure you use good quality chocolate, as this will influence the taste of your creations.\nIt&#8217;s best to choose chocolate containing at least 50% cocoa for a more pronounced taste. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chocolate breaking and crushing<\/h2>\n\n<p>The first step is to break the chocolate into coarse pieces.\nThis will make it easier to mix in the <strong>Thermomix<\/strong>.\nThen place them in the bowl of your machine.\nWe recommend that you leave the chocolate in the bowl for about 5 minutes.\nThis pause allows the machine to reach the right temperature for subsequent mixing.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Next, to crush the chocolate, program the <strong>Thermomix<\/strong> at speed 7 for 4 to 5 seconds.\nThis will ensure uniform pieces.\nFor optimum control, you can also use the &#8216;Turbo&#8217; function for a few pulses, if you prefer finer pieces.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Melt the chocolate<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once crushed, you can melt the chocolate.\nAdd a little butter if you want a softer chocolate.\nProgram the <strong>Thermomix<\/strong> at 45\u00b0C for 2.5 minutes on speed 2.\nKeep a close eye on the melting to prevent the chocolate from burning.\nStir gently during cooking to ensure a smooth texture.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Once the chocolate has melted, carefully remove it from the bowl.\nPour onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spreading evenly with a spatula.\nThis will make it easier to cut the nuggets once the chocolate has solidified.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nugget formation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Allow the chocolate to cool to room temperature, then place in the fridge for around 30 minutes to harden completely.\nOnce solidified, you can then cut the chocolate into the desired size.\nIf you prefer smaller nuggets, don&#8217;t hesitate to run them through the <strong>Thermomix<\/strong> in pulse mode to obtain the perfect size.  <\/p>\n\n<p>For even more delicious nuggets, roll them lightly in <strong>flour<\/strong> before use, to prevent them from sticking together when stored.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage and use<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once your nuggets are ready, it&#8217;s important to store them properly.\nPlace them in a cloth or airtight container to maintain their crispness.\nYou can use them in your favorite recipes, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/accessormix.com\/en\/recette-de-cake-au-chocolat-facile-avec-le-thermomix-2\/\">chocolate chip cookies<\/a>, <strong>cakes<\/strong>, or as a topping for your desserts.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s quick and easy to make homemade chocolate chips with the <strong>Thermomix<\/strong>, so you can personalize your desserts and impress your guests at the same time.\nSo get ready to give free rein to your culinary creativity! <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"627\"
