Has anyone had any experience with making chocolate covered cherries?

I made a batch for the first time, and though they appreaed well coated with chocolate, many of them have sprung leaks! I had the cherries quite cold when dipping them, and I was thinking the problem might have been the expansion when they warmed up? I’m not sure. Any advice?
Many of them leaked–didn’t count, but many.

When making chocolate chip cookies, how do you adjust the recipe if you have extra large eggs?

I’m going to make Toll House Chocolate Chip cookies but I have 2 extra large eggs instead of just large eggs. Normally if I make it like that, the cookies turn out kinda flat and they don’t look right. How much should I increase the dry ingredients to make up for the larger-sized eggs?

What is a good replacement for wax paper when making chocolate covered pretzels?

Filed under Q&A

I read wax paper is best to place chocolate covered pretzels on while cooling. But I’m out of wax paper, and I don’t want to make the 40 min trip to the store to get some. Anyone know a good replacement? Would the pretzels be ruined if I don’t use wax paper?

Anyone have a good recipe for making chocolate candies?

November 30, 2009 by  
Filed under Q&A

I have an antique, metal, candy mold for making 49 square candies from a company called “King Kup.” I think the company is defunct now. I’d like to try making the chocolate candies. Anyone have good recipes for this? Warning: I’m a real novice at this whole thing. I’m not familiar with candy thermometers, (although I’m pretty sure you need one), so if you could recommend a good one, that would be great too. Any tips also would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

I’m making thin chocolate squares from a mold. Does it matter what percentage chocolate I use?

I want to make dark chocolate squares from high quality chocolate but it seems like my first attempts using those big trader joe’s bars melt fairly quickly when touched (even after freezing the mold for an hour). Is this because I’m using a high % chocolate or does that not matter when making chocolate molds? Any suggestions?
