👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Prepare the cookie crumbs: Place cookies in a sturdy plastic bag or a food processor. Crush them into fine crumbs, resembling coarse sand. Ensure there are no large chunks.

   ⏱️ 10 minutes
2. 2

   Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Be careful not to burn it.

   ⏱️ 2 minutes
3. 3

   Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated. The mixture should be glossy.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes
4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients: Add the finely crushed cookies and chopped nuts (if using) to the wet mixture. Stir with a spoon or spatula until everything is thoroughly combined and a thick, sticky dough forms. It should hold together when pressed.

5. 5

   Shape the 'potatoes': Take about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to form small, oval shapes resembling tiny potatoes. Aim for a size of about 1.5 inches (4 cm) long.

   ⏱️ 15 minutes
6. 6

   Coat the 'potatoes': Place a few tablespoons of extra cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Gently roll each shaped 'potato' in the cocoa powder until evenly coated. This gives them their characteristic 'dirty potato' look.

   ⏱️ 3 minutes
7. 7

   Chill to firm: Arrange the coated 'kartoshka' on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch. This allows the flavors to meld and the candies to set.
