Homemade Chocolates!
Have you ever noticed how there is not a holiday where chocolate is not acceptable? Why is it that chocolate goes up in cost at the holidays?
Hi good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, I'm Kandis and I love chocolate. Well sweets for that matter, when it comes to will power I have none, when it comes to sweets!
I love baking which does not always help. The only good thing is I can say it's healthier as I'm stuffing my mouth lol!
I thought I would share how I made very easy, basic chocolates for Easter this year. This is how I melt all chocolate for baking also. I use a double boiling pot method!
I do this way as chocolate burns easier then one thinks. This just makes it a little more fool proof as you melt the chocolate.
For this method simply take 2 pots, one that will fit in the other.
Add water to the bottom pot, place smaller pot in water.
Heat on low to medium heat. Add your chocolate to the empty pot, stir while it melts.
For these chocolates I used white chocolate squares and semi-sweet chocolate squares. In two separate pots I melted both kinds, when the chocolate is completely melted it was easy peasy.
All required is then to scoop the chocolate into the molds. Half I did white chocolate first then dark chocolate. The other half was done the opposite way. Then slightly bang on counter to even out and release any air bubbles that may be in there. Chill in fridge or freezer!
That is all there is to making homemade chocolates. If you want to make it fancier you can add nuts, sprinkles or even edible glitter sprinkles. The choices are truly endless.
Once you got your chocolate base it's all fun from there.
What do you think?
Have you made your own chocolates, how do you do yours?

I’m such a sucker for sweets and chocolate too! I’ve never made chocolates like that before! But that is a great idea! 😃
ReplyDeleteIt is easy when you get the hang of it, cheaper, you know what's in it, plus you can say you made it. I have made many things with melting chocolate down. Let me know if you try and how it went! Everyone will love them or u can hoard them for you lol no judgment here lol😂
