toast the nuts in a dry pan for approx 1 minute till just turning golden and emitting their nutty aroma. Immediately tip out of the pan as they will continue to cook and burn from the heat of the pan
Whizz all ingredients in food processor till you get a sticky chocolate paste
scoop out and roll into a log shape and wrap tightly in cling film
Set aside in fridge for at least 48 hours to firm up before slicing to serve
