Did chocolates today. I decided to do them the cheat way: I mixed my oil in with “candy melts”, a home candy making product. It was on sale and cheaper than real chocolate, and it’s made to be less finicky to work with. It tastes kinda waxy out of the bag, so I added some extra cocoa powder to bump up the chocolate taste and a bit of vanilla to brighten the flavor.
Have to say it worked pretty well. It set up well in the fridge, and sat at room temperature on the counter without going soft.
Next batch I think will have puffed rice cereal added. It will add some texture and volume and I think make it so that I can do one piece as a serving. Right now a half brick is about my dose. It make about 18 chocolates in my new mold. That’s about equivalent to when I make my brownies, which I cut into 15 pieces per pan and eat half.
I can also see mixing in toffee pieces, dried fruit, or caramel.
Texture is good. It’s firm enough to give a good bite, but melts in the mouth quickly with a good mouth feel. Taste is not bad, if you like the taste of weed. You can definitely taste chocolate, but there is no disguising the flavor of my infused oil. Lol
