Back in the salted caramel groove again! 😊

25/02/2020

I'm watching 'The Hairy Bikers' Chocolate Challenge' on channel 5. It's about a group of amateur chocolate makers competing through weekly tasks to win the opportunity to create a brand new flavour of Kit Kat. It's a bit like The Bake Off for chocolate makers.

I'm watching episode 2 at the moment and smiling to myself; they're making moulded chocolates. As someone largely self-taught, I've made pretty much all of the same mistakes in my own kitchen (although I've never made caramel that has set in the pan like cement!)

I vividly remember my disappointment at being unable to get my beautiful chocolates to drop cleanly out of the moulds. The first time this happened I banged and banged it on the worktop until the mould cracked, but the chocolates were still determinedly stuck fast. In the end I gave up and ate them out of the mould with a teaspoon!

If this happens to you, it's because you haven't tempered your chocolate correctly. Eat this batch with a spoon and have another go with a clean and polished mould. I promise you, it's worth all the effort. There's nothing like the feeling of lifting up a mould and seeing 36 beautiful shiny chocolates sitting there underneath. It's the best moment in chocolate making!
