Tricks Of The Trade

If you are new to candy making, you might want to go over some basic rules that will help you achieve the best results. Chocolate can be a little bit tricky, but don't let this scare you.

If you employ these candy making tips you won't have any trouble, but you will have a lot of fun. Don't forget to lick the bowl!

Cream Filled Chocolates

It may take a little longer to whip up a batch of cream filled chocolates because the chocolate has to be tempered first, but that little extra effort is certainly worth it.

If you follow the instructions for tempering, you will love the results.

You may also like to try some buttercream candy recipes, too.

Chocolate Dipped Candies

Whether you are dipping nuts, fruit, fondant, or caramels into melted chocolate, these recipes will help you design a chocolate covered treat that is a winner and that your whole family will enjoy.

You may even want to get creative and drizzle a contrasting melted chocolate on top for added eye appeal (white on dark, dark on milk, etc.).

Let your imagination soar!

Homemade Chocolate Fudge

Some people wouldn't classify fudge as candy. I am definitely NOT one of them! :)

Chocolate fudge happens to be one of my all time favorite luxuries, so I couldn't bear to leave it out. It has that melt in your mouth richness that you can savor with every bite.

There are quick and easy microwave fudge recipes as well as old fashioned slow cooking fudge creations that are assembled on the stove top. Both methods produce results that are hard to keep around, at least at my house.

Molded Chocolate Candy

Chocolate candy made in molds can be especially fun for kids. They can make a variety of different designs without too much trouble.

Chocolate candy molds are also really great for favors at parties, showers, and other special events. With these recipes for chocolate candy molds, you can change the flavor by adding your own preferred flavored oil.
