Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.


Assorted Bon-Bons (above)

Yesterday and today we spent all day tempering, molding, and dipping. Chocolate is everywhere. I have some on my hat, not sure how this is possible! Needless to say, I'm in pastry heaven. Though technically quite difficult, I'm loving every second! And today was bon-bon day!!! Carla and I picked Honey/Saffron ganach to fill ours-we had a list to choose from. Really good! And on Monday our assignment is to create our own recipe! I'm of course doing a Manhattan truffle-Whiskey/Brandied Cherries/Dark Chocolate. Super simple-but I imagine the flavors will be fantastic!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Nougat (not the white variety-tastes like a resses-pieces with some texture)

Chocolate Covered Soft Caramels

Butter Caramels and Peanuts, dipped.

We also got our chocolate showpiece (yes, another one) theme today: favorite childhood movie. Our class is not particularly creative in terms of interesting themes...So I get to plan that out this weekend!
