EASY (BUT ELEGANT) CHOCOLATE CANDY



Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy image

These are so easy to make that the kids can help me prepare them. It is just as easy to make a wide variety of these fancy morsels which allows you to set forth an impressive candy tray. Also makes an excellent gift. I prefer to work in small batches but the recipe can certainly be doubled or tripled.

Time 11m

Yield 12-15 candies, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup chocolate wafers (approximately) or 1 cup white chocolate wafers (approximately)
coconut (regular or toasted)
chopped pecans
chopped walnuts
chopped peanuts
chopped almonds
chopped hazelnuts
chopped cashews
chopped macadamia nuts
toffee pieces
finely crushed pretzel
Rice Krispies
chopped dried fruit
crushed mint decorative candies
crushed chocolate sandwich style cookies

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish.
  • Heat for 1 minute and stir.
  • If needed, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in one or two of the filling ingredients listed.
  • The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don't add so much that the mixture doesn't hold together.
  • Spoon mixture into mini candy papers.
  • Garnish with more the the Filling Ingredient (s) used or drizzle, in a contrasting chocolate, in a zig-zag pattern on top.
  • TIPS: do not allow moisture to come in contact with the chocolate while it is melting or it will "bind" and become an unusable mess.
  • Make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry.

EASY CHOCOLATE CANDIES



Easy Chocolate Candies image

I took this recipe from TLC's "Take Home Chef" show and website and omitted the almonds because I'm not a big fan. These are easy and tasty, but making them does involve a bit of a mess (although that's part of the fun, isn't it?)

Provided by Law School Chef

Categories     Candy

Time 4h

Yield 36 chocolates

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces high quality semisweet chocolate (I use Ghirardelli)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (use more or less as needed)
4 ounces almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolate into small pieces.
  • In a small or medium saucepan, warm the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chocolate until the mixture is smooth.
  • Stir in almonds (if desired).
  • Refrigerate the mixture for about 3 hours.
  • Remove the mixture from the fridge.
  • Use an ice cream scoop (or your fingers) to form the chocolate into balls.
  • Roll the ball in a bowl of unsweeted cocoa powder.
  • Refrigerate before serving.
