Instructions
- Add the chocolate to a large bowl. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave or using the double-boiler method. Once melted, add a layer to the bottom of each chocolate mold, spreading it out to cover it entirely. Pop the mold in the freezer to firm up.
- In a bowl, combine all of the cookie dough ingredients. Taste & adjust as you'd like. Fold in the cacao nibs/chocolate chips if using.
- Add the cookie dough on top of the chilled chocolate layer, pressing it down evenly. Then, cover the cookie dough layer with the remaining melted chocolate.
- Pop the molds back in the freezer for 2-3 hours until completely firm. Then remove then from the molds and store in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer.
