Chocolate

Last year a friend Cindy taught me how to make molded filled chocolates. I have added to what she taught me and now it is a full blown Christmas tradition. A very yummy one.

Tips for Chocolate
*Buy Quality Chocolate at a candy store(no Wilton's is not the quality I use) my favorite is Merkens
*Melt chocolate over hot not boiling water. if the water is too hot it will thicken the chocolate.
*while melting sir often and NEVER cover.
TOO MUCH HEAT OR ANY MOISTURE WILL RUIN THE CANDY

I heat/melt the chocolate using a double boiler.

Molds
Mold can be purchased at a candy store.
*thin molds and shells cool in the fridge
*thick mold and filled shells in the freezer.

Thin Molds
* carefully fill to almost full with melted chocolate tap gently to spread cool/set in fridge

Filled Molds.
*with spoon place a little bit of chocolate in mold. using finger, completely cover inside of mold. All of the interior must be covered. This is the shell.
*Place shells in fridge to set.
*carefully fill shells to below top with filling.use finger to flatten top if it is a solid filling.
*cover with chocolate to just below full. Covering filling completely. tap the mold on counter to remove any air bubbles. the top must be flat as this will be the bottom.
*place filled molds in freezer to harden. it only takes a few minutes. when hard to the touch tip over on a clean dry towel. If chocolates don't come right out put back in freezer for a few more minutes.
