As promised I'm posting pictures from candy making day. This post features
Mom's Chocolates. As I mentioned when I posted the recipe, this can be a little time consuming. I decided to experiment this year. I spread the chocolate coating in a pan, popped it into the freezer for a couple minutes to harden quickly, pulled it out and pressed in the flavored filling, spread more coating on top, popped it into the freezer for another couple minutes, and then cut them. It worked pretty well actually and was MUCH quicker than dipping.
The mixture is very dry and stiff. It takes some time to knead it to a point where it is smooth and creamy.
It works best if you knead it in small sections, then just flavor each individually.
Shape small bits of the mixture.
Dip, set on wax paper to dry.
Or layer in a pan and cut.
This makes A LOT. I still have a lump of filling to coat. I'll probably do it in a pan again. Happy candy making!
