Christmas time is quickly approaching. Maybe your group is looking a little smaller this year. Well, no worries! This spicy chocolate covered candied prosciutto will be delicious for any group holiday gathering.
The cayenne in this prosciutto gives the dish an extra kick and the dark chocolate elevates it to holiday – ready. With a total of 10 minutes for preparation time, I’m keeping this one in my arsenal for holiday favorites.
Of course, if you prefer no spice or a different flavor profile, mix up the spices according to your preferred taste.
