De chocolate nosso amor é feito
Então não tem jeito, gruda em mim
Isso não é só Confeti, me abraça enlouquece
Meu vício sem fim…

Alô Doçura, isso é mais que
Uma Serenata de Amor
Com você, tenho a Sensação
Que o nosso Lance é para a vida inteira

Seu olhar é o meu Sonho de Valsa
É o doce que eu sempre quis,
Meu Prestígio é estar com você
E pedir sempre Bis.

Você é mais preciosa
E bem mais brilhante
Que um Diamante Negro
Penso em você todo tempo
E nesse seu talento
De me fazer feliz

De chocolate nosso amor é feito
Então não tem jeito, gruda em mim
Isso não é só Confeti, me abraça enlouquece
Meu vício sem fim…

Isso não é só Confeti, me abraça enlouquece
Meu vício sem fim…

The question is vague, so I want to ask pretty much how to create chocolate pieces. I have read books where people melt chocolate, add either coffee/milk/sugar to the melt, and pour it into little tins where it cools and sets and is essentially chocolate pieces. Does anyone know how to do this, have any measuring amounts, or have done anything like this that can give me some advise?

Chocolate molds these days are usually made of plastic. You can find them at some quality kitchen stores (like Sur la Table). You can also find some at larger craft stores. They’ll be in the same general area as the cake decorating supplies.

Please note: you generally don’t want to add sugar, coffee, or milk to melted chocolate. If you want to flavor plain chocolate, it’s better to use food-grade oils.

Adding sugar and milk is usually done to the processed cocoa beans to make chocolate in the first place. You might also be thinking of ganache, which is the filling inside of truffles. It is made of cream, chocolate, and flavorings. Molded chocolates are sometimes filled with ganache (it’s made slightly differently from the ganache that goes in truffles).

I really suggest getting a book about this… there are tons out there.

If you really just want to make prettily-shaped solid chocolate pieces (it’s enough of a production as it is), I suggest getting some molds from a shop. You should also grab an offset spatula, which will help you smooth the tops of your chocolate if you need to.

If you want to make the chocolate pieces look really nice (with that great shine), you’ll need to do what is called tempering the chocolate. This is basically melting it to a certain temperature, then bringing the temperature down in a controlled manner (by adding very finely chopped solid chocolate), and finally bringing the chocolate back up to a slightly higher temperature again. The temperatures vary depending on what kind of chocolate (white/milk vs dark) and some brands even have small variations in specific temperature. To temper, I strongly suggest getting an instant thermometer with a digital display. Keep it in a glass of warm water, but always dry it off before you put it in the melted chocolate. Water is kryptonite for melted chocolate!

I LOVE chocolate cream, and tried to make it once, in order to put it on a chocolate cake, but it came out all buttery and no joy, and tasted rather horrible.

Does anyone have a surefire way or recipe to make proper, tasty, rich chocolate cream/soft icing?

I use this on my chocolate mousse torte.
It dries quickly and is shinny very nice

I had a trivia question about a "chocolate" dogs can eat, and someone answered with white chocolate. Is white chocolate safe for dogs?

And no, I’m not planning to feed it to my pooch anytime soon.

Any type of chocolate does not have any health benefits for pets. However, white chocolate does not contain theobromine, the chemical found in cocoa beans which is used to make both milk and dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is made from cocoa butter, not cocoa. Since it does not contain theobromine, it would not have the toxic effects that both milk and dark chocolate potentially have to pets.

I’m planning on making my girlfriend chocolate covered strawberries for valentines day and i was wondering if someone could help me out. I’m planning on using ghiradelli milk chocolate and then lace them with white chocolate.i only have a stainless steel bowl so if you could help me with that and any other tips or make sure they come out perfect! thanks for the help!!
ooh one note, about the type of chocolate, she really loves chocolate so dark chocolate wont be the best because she doesn’t like it, thanks again!

place the bowl over simmering, NOT boiling, water to melt the chocolate.
coat the strawberries with the milk chocolate.
let harden on wax paper
next, melt the white choc the same way
dip a fork into the melted white choc and swing it back and forth over the coated strawberries

be sure your strawberries are washed and thoroughly dry before coating them
