The California gold miners didn’t know it at the time, but had they been planting theobroma trees instead of panning for gold, they’d become much richer men.
Hindsight’s always 20/20.
At least we know now.
With a food processor and some basic ingredients, you can make your own chocolate nuggets.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Batter:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 cups flour
pinch baking soda
double pinch baking powder
2 sticks butter, mildly melted
Glaze:
1 cup Confectioner’s sugar
Various extracts or flavourings to your liking
(Nutella, peppermint extract, almond extract, vanilla, instant coffee, Framboise or raspberry jam)
Toss all the dry ingredients into the food processor first and give them a whirl.
Then pour the melted butter and you’ll get a rich, chocolaty paste of batter, like this:
Next, roll tablespoons of the batter into cute li’l golf balls and
space onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, about an inch apart. {If you’re squeamish, wear gloves, but butter is the best moisturizer for squeaky clean hands.}
let them rest to solidify. Arrange them onto a pretty plate to tempt your guests. 
They also make wonderful gifts,
