1
Use the bread crusts in long pieces.
-
2
Put the margarine in a bowl and melt it in the microwave.
-
3
Toss with the crusts.
-
4
Sprinkle in the granulated sugar and mix quickly.
-
5
Put in a preheated 150C oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
-
6
Leave to cool once they are done.
-
7
Put the chocolate in a tall, deep cup and melt it in the microwave.
-
8
Hold the cup diagonally as you dip the cooled, crispy rusks in the chocolate to coat them.
-
9
Tap each rusk inside the cup to remove any excess chocolate.
-
10
Put the chocolate covered rusks on a sheet of kitchen parchment paper, and leave to cool or chill in the refrigerator.
-
11
You can wrap them up prettily for Valentine's Day.
-
12
The chocolate may not be enough to coat all the rusks, so add more or just leave some rusks uncoated.
-
13
Add a little hot water to the chocolate left in the cup to turn it into a hot chocolate drink.
-
14
Take the chocolate or margarine out of the microwave while there are still some lumps left, and mix to melt completely.
-
15
Chocolate in particular can burn, so watch out for that.
-
16
If the crusts are too thin they may break when you're tossing them in the margarine and sugar.
-
17
I recommend cutting them off rather thickly.

Tip: if you toss the crusts in a bowl they tend to break easily, but if you use a shallow tray they don't.
