Chocolates

What would you consider chocolate as? Would you say that chocolate is a candy, and why?

A friend and I are having a debate on whether chocolate is a candy, in the dairy category, or in its own individual category. I would like an honest opinion to go to our voting poll please or a scientific opinion. If possible more reasons why chocolate is a candy. The side I am on in this debate, is the side that thinks chocolate is a kind of candy. Please strengthen my opinion or explain why chocloate wouldn’t be a candy. Thanks.

I think chocolate is a candy because it’s sweet and it’s also sold in the CANDY asle.

I also think chocolate could be it’s own category because there are so many diffrent products with chocolate in them.

Hope this helps!

how do you make make milk chocolate from dark chocolate?

i have a pack of lindt 70% dark chocolate
is it possible to make milk chocolate out of it?
i tried adding milk and also powder milk to it
but it doesnt work

I wouldn’t bother to try. The creation of dark chocolate and milk chocolate differ at the source. I can imagine turning one into the other at home would bring up issues with seizing and proper blending and consistency.
Better off using the dark chocolate in recipes, and buying some milk chocolate.

What to make with chocolate truffles?

I have 1lb of Donckels Chocolate Truffles, and I don’t know what to do with them. They are very rich in flavor and I really want to make a cake with them but I found nothing. If anyone has a special recipe for a cake in which I can use these chocolate truffles let me know? Keep in mind that these truffles are sweet. Thanks

Rough chop a handful or two and sprinkle into a chocolate cake batter right before you put it in the oven. Similar to adding M&M’s of chocolate chips.

Has anybody tried FireLilly Gourmet Chocolate Truffle Cones from http://www.firelillychocolates.com recently?

Filled or a bar?
Buy a bar( it’s cheaper).
Cotes D’or
Callebaut( both Belgium)
Callebaut you’d find in Whole Foods( near the cheeses)
also in Wild Oats or in any Gourmet Market.

Be aware that Godiva" is NOT made in Belgium anymore.
Neuhaus still is( for filled choclates or bars).

Chocolates are a great gift in any season to family/loved ones, teachers, friends, weddings, parties, and anyone else that you’d love to show your appreciation to. It is not difficult and does not take as much time as one would think. The chocolates come in an assortment of colors and you can be as detailed as you like. Be creative with your chocolates and how you package them. Most of all have fun!

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:

Glass bowl or glass jars (easy to store this way)

Wooden spoon

Aluminum foil

Plastic bag or plastic gloves for hands

Counter or table space to place your chocolates for ‘drying’

Chocolates

Chocolate flavors (oil-based)

Paintbrush

Chocolate Molds

HOW TO MELT YOUR CHOCOLATE:

Skillet/Grill Method – Best Method

1. Place chocolate in glass bowl and set on grill.

2. Set grill on simmer setting or lowest setting and stir every few minutes until melted.

3. You can have different colors of chocolate heating at the same time in separate bowls or jars.

Double Boiler Method – Stove method

1. Fill large pot 1/4 full and heat to medium.

2. Place your chocolate pieces in a glass bowl or jar (jars are better because you can

usually get small jars with different colored chocolates into one pot at a time)

3. Turn heat down to a simmer.

4. Stir until melted; continue adding chocolate until the desired amount is melted.

Microwave Method (not recommended as it’s too difficult to control the heat)

1. For one lb of chocolate coating, cook one minute on high. Stir.

2. Continue cooking on medium in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is fully melted.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:

The chocolate coatings are oil based, so never let water come in direct contact with them.

If you are adding flavors, they must be oil-based. Most extracts are water-based.

Never touch the chocolates after you have removed them from the fridge/freezer as the condensation will copy your fingerprint onto your chocolates. Instead, wait until the chocolates have reached room temperature (around 10 min) and no longer have condensation on them. This way they will also retain their glossiness.

Lay down a sheet of aluminum foil to place the chocolates on after you remove them from the fridge/freezer. Use a plastic bag or plastic gloves to lift and move the chocolates around until they reach room temperature.

STORING YOUR CHOCOLATES:

1. Store in a cool, dry and odorless area.

2. Do not place in the refrigerator or freezer as condensation will develop when removed. This will add water to the chocolate and it will become thick when melted.

MAKING THE CHOCOLATES

Solid Chocolate Molds:

1. Spoon melted chocolate into each of the cavities of the mold. If it overflows scrape away the excess with a straight knife or spatula.

2. Lightly tap the mold on the counter or table to remove any air bubbles on the surface of the mold.

3. Place mold in refrigerator to cool.

4. Remove from the fridge/freezer and flip over the mold onto a sheet of foil. The pieces will pop out. It may be necessary to gently tap or twist the mold.

5. If the pieces do not come out easily the chocolate may need a bit longer to set.

Painting a mold:

1. Using a paintbrush, paint the chocolate, in the color of choice on the inside sections of the mold.

2. Carefully look at the front of the mold to be sure that all appropriate areas are covered.

3. Let color set before adding any additional colors to prevent them from running into each other.

4. Once all desired areas have been painted and are dry, fill the remainder of the mold with the appropriate chocolate.

5. Follow the last 3 steps of Solid Flat-back molding.

Two Piece Hollow Molds:

1. Fill the backside of the mold with melted chocolate.

2. Clip the front of the mold to the back of the mold.

3. Shake the mold to completely coat both sides of the mold. Tap against counter to move any air bubbles.

4. Place in on its top in fridge for 3 – 5 minutes. Remove, then shake to redistribute the chocolate. Place in refrigerator on its back. Repeat these steps four or five times; each time placing the mold on a different side.

5. Be sure to place in refrigerator standing up as the last stage.

6. Once completely set, remove from mold.

A FAVORITE CHOCOLATE RECIPE:

Chocolate Maraschino Cherries

You will need:

Milk, White or Dark Chocolate pieces

Maraschino Cherries (Jar type is fine)

Icing Sugar

Chocolate ‘Cup’ mold

1. Cut cherries in halves

2. Paint in hollow chocolate mold and cool in the fridge/freezer

3. Add cherry halve and ‘cherry juice’ (mix cherry juice and icing sugar until you get a creamy consistency)

4. Add more chocolate to the top and avoid any air bubbles (pop with the tip of a knife or toothpick). Re-chill.
