A teja is a candy filled with manjarblanco and coated with a fondant-like shell. When this shell is made with chocolate, the candy is called chocoteja. We’ll see the tejas recipe later; for now, it’s better to know how the chocotejas are made. It’s not complicated! if you or your kids love the sweet things, this is your recipe.

Ingredients:

• Peacans
• Manjarblanco
• Semi-sweet chocolate for coating

Preparation:

Cut in half every peacan. Make a “sandwich” with the halves and a lot of manjarblanco in each one.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Now we’ll cover the peacans with manjarblanco. Do you have a mold for chocotejas?

1. If you do, pour the chocolate in the mold, put the peacans wth manjarblanco, let it cool down and then pour more chocolate.
2. If you don’t have a mold, put the peacans on wax paper and cover it with chocolate. Let it cool down, turn and cover again with a teaspoon. Let it cool down again.
