Making chocolates yourself is not difficult at all, but the correct tempering of the chocolate is a prerequisite. On our blog you will find detailed instructions on how to properly melt couverture and chocolate:

The art of making pralines.

Melt the chocolate couverture at 45-48°C. To speed up the cooling of the couverture you can pour 2/3 of the melted chocolate onto a cold work surface, preferably marble. Spread out the melted couverture with a palette and keep gathering until the chocolate has cooled to 28°C.

Mix the cooled chocolate with the still hot chocolate and heat up to the processing temperature of 32°C (dark chocolate), 30°C (milk chocolate) or 29°C (white chocolate) while stirring.

Empty the tempered chocolate into a piping bag and fill it into the hemisphere polycarbonate chocolate mold or brush it with a thin layer. Tap the chocolate mold lightly to avoid air bubbles. Then chill the professional chocolate mold for about 10-20 minutes.

Once completely hardened, carefully tap the chocolate out of the moulds. Now you can decorate and stylishly wrap your homemade chocolates.
