How To Be A Chocolate Maker?

Desserts are one of God’s best blessings to mankind. Imagine how many kids end up having decayed tooth, how many girls gush over a piece of cake and how many guys fall in line at chocolate specialty stores to buy something for their girls. The craze is astounding! If you are one of the many who worship sweets then you would know that  the mightiest of them all is the chocolate.

To make things better than it already is, is to have chocolate whenever and wherever you want it. Since you are already head over heels in love with chocolate, might as well go overboard. There is no backing out now. The way to do that is to learn how to create your very own chocolate candy.

The key is to learn how to bake. Yes sir! But wait, you need not to be worried at all. If you think it is a major task to do then I tell you you’re wrong. It is a misconception that things have to be hard or complicated. Remember that what you are doing is a homemade chocolate candy. You are still not a master chef okay? So begin with the basics.

First stick to a simple recipe. Candy thermometers and correct timing of adding ingredients is not something you encounter every day unless of course you do baking for a living. You can just begin by melting chocolate chips and milk in a saucepan under low heat. The reason for this is to refrain from burning it. Continuously mix until is it completely melted and then you can blend in nuts and vanilla. Whether you are working with white chocolate, milk chocolate or dark chocolate, it is a common denominator to set the range at low to medium temperature only that is for obvious reasons.

Seriously though, the main trick is to follow the instructions carefully. Be keen and precise in the measurement and in the steps to be taken. With all that and more, you are sure to come up with the best tasting chocolate candy a beginner has ever made.

Chocolate Roses

We love chocolate as is. I know that all too well. However, creativity also doesn’t hurt. It’s not so bad to eat something that you totally love that’s enhanced a bit. I know, I know. It also pains me too to eat and actually destroy a piece of art, but that’s the real essence of chocolate! They are built to be eaten, or drunk, for that matter.

Chocolate Roses are stunning, delectable treats that look like real flowers made with a modeling material called chocolate plastic. You can watch this video in order to create the chocolate plastic for the roses.

Do you have an easy recipe for an at-home chocolate fountain?

Question by SV: Do you have an easy recipe for an at-home chocolate fountain?
Every recipe I have tried doesn’t get the chocolate “thin” enough – my fountain starts churning and making funny noises. I need a smooth, thin chocolate sauce to coat strawberries and marshmallows. I am looking for something that contains “good” (not cheap) chocolate chips and maybe 1/2 and 1/2 or heavy cream. HELP!

Best answer:

Answer by gettingmarriedinnc
I just bought one and I’m sorry I haven’t used it yet but they said to use good chocolate and heat it up with oil in a microwave or pan first. Then put it in you fountain. They said the more coco that’s in the chocolate is better and makes it move smoother. I’m not sure of the exact measurements but I know that they said cups of oil. Let me know if this helps I hope so good luck.

can you use white chocolate chips in place of the vanilla melting discs?

Question by bookluvr315: can you use white chocolate chips in place of the vanilla melting discs?
I have a recipe that calls for the melting discs (the ones you use to make like candies and “chocolate” lollipops but I cant find them at any of the stores around here, so can I use like the white chocolate chips instead?
the vanilla discs are also referred to as “candy melts”

Answer by cookingkay1955
The chips are not made to harden like the melts I have used chips to coat pretzels but it doesn’t harden as well.
