Chocolate Nut Balls
1 cup semisweet chocolate, chips or pieces
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
Dash salt
Flaked coconut
In a medium saucepan melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow to cool until lukewarm.
Beat in egg until smooth and glossy. Add sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Stir in the 1/2 cup flaked coconut and chopped peanuts. Chill mixture about 1 hour.
Form into 1 inch balls and roll in remaining flaked coconut. Place on a wax paper covered tray and chill for 3 hours until firm.
FONDANT
Ingredients:
150 ml water
450 gms Granulated sugar
30 gms liquid glucose
a few grains cirtric acid
few drops essence, a few drops colour.
Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and dissolve the sugar over a low heat constantly stirring. Bring the syrup to a boil and add liquid glucose and citric acid. Allow to cool.
Wet the working table and pour the syrup onto it and allow it to cool. When a skin starts appearing around the edges collect the mixture with a spatula and work on it in the figure 8. When the figure becomes white and firm knead it with the hands till the dough is firm throughout. You can now add color and essence as needed.
TEMPERING
This is the basics for all the chocolate recipes. Break 2 kgs of chocolate slabs into small pieces. Put the small pieces into a vessel and put in a melting kettle. Set the temperature to 50 Degrees. Cocoa butter can also be added if needed. (2-4 % of the chocolate by weight). Allow the chocolate to melt stirring continuously. Once liquid put about 2/3rd of the chocolate on a clean working surface. With a pallet knife mix and spread the chocolate in order to smoothen and cool the chocolate. Now bring down the temperature to 27-28 Degrees. Put the chocolate from the slab back into the vessel and heat the mixture at 30 Degrees. The result is tempered chocolate. The moulds to put the chocolate in should be absolutely dry. Fill the tempered chocolate in the mould at ideal working temperature. Scrape of excess chocolate with a pallet knife. Released the trapped bubbles by vibrating the mould. Turn the mould upside down and shake to let excess chocolate run down. Scrape the topside clean. Now put the mould in the refrigerator at 10 Degrees. Leave for some time till the chocolate shell comes out easily. Now put the filling. Cover with warm tempered chocolate. Cool for 15-20 minutes. You can now remove and pack the chocolates. Speed in making chocolate is essential. Never leave the chocolate in refrigerator for too long.
Chocolate centers for enrobed chocolate recipe
The heart of the chocolate is its center filling. These chocolate recipes do not require a mould. There are many types of center fillings that can be used. A few of chocolate recipes are given below.
DRY FRUITS:
Cashew nuts and almonds are broken into small pieces and roasted to a light brown color. They are cooled and used as a center.
PRALINE CRUNCH
A very popular filling made by caramelizing sugar and adding almonds and cashew nuts.
RAISINS
Raisins have a small shelf life as they attract germs very soon. But are good combinations with chocolate. They should be thoroughly washed and dried before using. Another variation with raisins is soaking the raisins in rum for about 3 hours and then using them.
CANDIED FRUITS
Cherries are also a good combination with chocolate
MARZIPAN
This is prepared from cashew nuts or almonds and condensed milk to make a paste or soft center. Color and essence are added to this.
FONDANT
A sugar based semi soft filling is used as chocolate center.
TRUFFLES
Excellent semi soft centers normally enrobed with chocolate and coated with cocoa powder etc. A host of flavors may be added.
Chocolate Peanutty Clusters
1 1/2 lbs almond bark
1 package chocolate chips
4 Hershey bars
27 ounces spanish peanuts
Preheat oven to 175 degrees F. Place almond bark in a cast iron skillet and place in preheated oven. Turn off the heat.
Allow bark to melt for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and add crumbled Hershey bars and chocolate chips. Mix well.
Stir in nuts and drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes or let stand overnight to set.
Rocky Road Bites
8-ounce milk chocolate bars, broken
3 cups mini marshmallows
3/4 cup nuts, coarsely chopped
1. In a medium saucepan, slowly melt milk chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
2. Stir in marshmallows and chopped nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper lined tray. Chill until firm.
Tips: This can also be made as squares by simply placing mixture into buttered pan before chilling, and then cutting into squares.
- You could also substitute chocolate chips for the chocolate bars in this recipe. I sometimes use whatever I have on hand. Desperation calls for drastic action at times, if you know what I mean.:)
- If you want to get really creative, you can throw in some raisins, dried fruit, coconut, whatever you are craving at the time. You can hardly go wrong with chocolate!
Chocolate Pretzel Rings
48 pretzel rings or mini twists
1 (8 ounce) package milk chocolate kisses
1/4 cup M&M's
Directions
Place the pretzels on greased baking sheets; place a chocolate kiss in the center of each ring. Bake at 275 degrees F for 2-3 minutes or until chocolate is softened. Remove from the oven. Place an M&M on each, pressing down slightly so chocolate fills the ring. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Store at room temperature.
Chocolate Ecstasy

brittle (soft crack stage).
When sugar reaches 246F, beat egg whites in large mixer bowl until stiff
peaks form. When syrup reaches soft crack stage, gradually pour in a thin
stream into egg whites, beating at high speed on mixer. Add vanilla and beat
