To melt chocolate into molds, it's not difficult at all.
But there are a bunch of little persnickety steps to figure out.
* what stuff will you need?* what is tempering? * an easy way to temper * adding stuff * freshness
There's nothing essential about these ratios,
but it took me a while to get the balances right.
With 1 cup of chocolate...
add 1/2 cup of...
* Crush pecans, walnuts, or cashews into crumbs. These are even better roasted.
* Crush up coffee beans (I need decaf, and as low acidity as you can find).
* Try freeze-dried raspberries, crushed peppermint candies
(with a tablespoon of extract of that flavor).
* Make a bowl of oatmeal.
add 1/4 cup of...
* Add honey, maple syrup, carmel syrup, raisins.
(You might not always guess, but all these seems to work with absolutely everything.)
Have fun!
