How to make simple home made chocolates

VLT

Hi, does anyone have a simple way of making home made chocs, ive picked up a silocon mold from sains which i think is an ice cube tray but is in the shapes of fruit and thought it would make a nice gift off my daughters to family members for xmas.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks VLT

The trick is getting chocolate to temper properly, but to say a very simple recipe I have read (but never tried)

*melted chocolate covering the base of the mould
* tinned caramel (carnation stuff) - a blob in each one
*topped off with more melted chocolate

Yum, now I'm hungry!!

Dont know about chocolates but you can make peppermint creams and put them in the moulds.

Icing Sugar
Egg white
few drops of peppermint essence, mix to a ball, roll out and cut into little rounds, press into the moulds. (as it is or you could put a dollop
of chocolate in each mould befoe you put the peppermint mix in.

Thanks for the reminder...have about 300ml of double cream and some old dark chocolate to use up - will turn into a ganache and add a dash of cointreau. My silicone chocoloate moulds were from Poundland btw.
