Ingredients

Bittersweet chocolate, tempered

For the filling:

1 pound cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon paprika
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper

Directions

Use an offset spatula to spread a 1/8-inch-thick layer of tempered chocolate over a sheet of acetate. When the chocolate begins to set but is not yet hard, use a sharp paring knife or rolling cutter to cut 1-inch squares. When the chocolate is set, peel off the acetate and break apart the chocolate squares.

Place the softened cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle. Add the chives, paprika, salt and pepper and turn the mixer on medium speed. Mix just until combined.

Place the cream cheese mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe a dollop of the cream cheese onto a chocolate square. Top with a square of chocolate. Pipe another dollop of cream cheese and cover with another square of chocolate. Viola!

AWESOME!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were fabulous! Impressed everyone at the dinner party, especially myself! Loved the combination of the chives with... the chocolate. I used Scharffenberger- really good! The one problem I had with the recipe was that he doesn't tell you how much chocolate. I used 12 oz. and made 10 2" napoleons (I had scraps of chocolate left, so perhaps someone neater than I could have gotten more!) Highly recommend this recipe. I will make it again!Read more
