Mmmmmm....... Chocolate!

Making chocolates was amazing to learn, and is super easy! We melted the chocolate on a double boiler and the poured it into a mold. Then we layed them inverted over a bowl to let them drain a little while still coating the bottom and sides of the dish. Then when they cooled a little we scraped off the excess and put them in the cooler. While the chocolate hardened we made a raspberry chocolate ganache to put in them as a filling. Once the molds were hard enough we put a little dollop of the ganache in them. Then we poured just enough chocolate over them to cover, and once again we scraped off the excess. Next was the fun part, when they were completely done and hard we turned them upside down and banged them on the table to get them out.
These treats were so easy to make and delicious to eat, I can't wait to make them again around the holidays for stocking stuffers. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving, and keeps it mixed up.
