Ingredients
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is a key ingredient in this recipe and brings a rich and decadent flavor to the chocolates. It also contains antioxidants and is lower in sugar compared to milk chocolate.
Milk Chocolate
Milk chocolate adds a creamy and slightly sweeter flavor to the chocolates. It pairs well with the dark chocolate and creates a delicious balance of flavors.
White Chocolate
White chocolate is optional but adds a festive touch with its creamy and sweet taste. It also creates a beautiful contrast when drizzled over the dark and milk chocolate.
Assorted Fillings
The beauty of homemade chocolates is that you can fill them with whatever you like. Some popular options include dried fruits, nuts, caramel, and even cookie pieces. Get creative and have fun with it!
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Start by melting the dark and milk chocolate in separate bowls over a double boiler or in the microwave. Make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate.
Step 2: Prepare the Molds
While the chocolate is melting, prepare your chocolate molds by lightly greasing them with cooking spray. This will make it easier to remove the chocolates once they have set.
Step 3: Fill the Molds
Once the chocolate is melted, spoon a small amount of dark chocolate into each mold, followed by milk chocolate. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the two chocolates together for a marbled effect.
For added variety, you can also fill some of the molds with white chocolate or create different layers of chocolate.
Step 4: Add the Fillings
Next, add your chosen fillings to the molds. Make sure not to overfill them, as you still need to cover them with chocolate.
Step 5: Cover with Chocolate
Use the remaining melted chocolate to cover the fillings and fill the molds to the top. Smooth out the chocolate with a spatula or spoon.
Step 6: Chill and Decorate
Place the molds in the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Once set, remove the chocolates from the molds and decorate with a drizzle of melted white chocolate or any other toppings of your choice.
And there you have it, a simple and delicious homemade Christmas chocolates recipe that is sure to impress your loved ones this holiday season. Get creative with different fillings and toppings to make it your own. Happy holidays!
