Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
This a simple way to make after-dinner chocolates – and easier than truffles, too.
300g good-quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
100g crystallised stem ginger, finely chopped
Put the chocolate into a bowl over a pan of simmering water for a few minutes, stirring every so often until it has melted. Stir in the stem ginger and remove from the heat.
Line a tray with clingfilm and pour the chocolate mixture on and spread it out to about half a centimetre thick.
Refrigerate for an hour or so, then remove from the tray and clingfilm and break into shard-like pieces.
