I ♥ Caramel Filled Chocolates

February 2, 2010

 

Oh. My. Goodness.
That’s just about all I can say.

I dream about the silky, creamy goodness inside a dark, bittersweet chocolate shell.

Not long ago I had some extra caramel in the refrigerator from an earlier project (doesn’t everybody?). The next time I rolled truffles in dark chocolate, I planned ahead and melted additional dark chocolate, which was used to fill my heart chocolate molds. A quick dollop of caramel in each heart, followed by a few grains of fleur-de-sol to bring out the flavor, and a schmear of chocolate to seal the backs of the hearts, and we were in business!

The end result was a study in contrasts – a marriage of a crisp bittersweet shell filled with creamy, caramelized goodness. Doesn’t that make you dream in chocolate too?
