Chocolates "Befana"

Description

Daughter recently asked - do candy, make a... let's do it! But at the same time learn how to cover sweets with chocolate, understand that IT is rather mini-cakes, and we'll know who Befana... This recipe was posted on the website in the 2009 user svetli4 ook called "Befana" chocolates" and is illustrated with me in the framework of "Coloring".

Ingredients

Prunes

12 piece
Cookies

200 g
Butter

100 g
Dark chocolate

100 g
Cream

3 Tbsp
White chocolate
Chocolate chips
Topping pastry

Cooking

So, do Italian Christmas candy. Who is the Befana, will talk about below. Prunes to steam in a water bath (or steam in water and dry). Cookies I have chocolate, I thought it best combined with the prunes. The oil will get in advance, leave at room temperature, it should be soft.

Cookies mangled...

And chop in the processor until very fine crumbs.

Mix with soft butter.

Leave at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to biscuit soaked. Cooking equipment - sticks - skewers of fondue.

In the source mass is divided into 8 parts. But confetii are just huge. Maybe it should... but we like smaller. Divided into 12 parts. And it would be necessary to 18-20.

Each part is rolled into a flapjack, put in the middle of prunes.

And roll the ball, trying very well to "wrap" carolinense. In the end the masses turned out a bit too much, and toppings - a little. Next time I will cut the prunes into pieces, and the masses will take less.

Get here are balls. Then it should be their "water chocolate". Just how to do it, I don't know. They are very soft. Put them in... To harden.

Hardened - they can be pinned on a fork.

While the balls are cooled, make the frosting. As the water bath, I decided to use baby warmer for baby food. And jars from him. The only condition is that the balls must be smaller than the size of the neck at the banks... so heated the chocolate with a spoon of cream (or milk)

It turned out the liquid glaze. Again there was a dilemma. If to breed stronger, so it was dipped not harden and will Shine. If not to breed is to cause difficult. Okay, let's do it.

Dip, shake off the excess.

That's another thing - in an Internet subtracted that it is necessary after the candy coating chocolate for a moment to put it in cold water. Well, dropped one, honestly held nothing good. Clouded, covered with some bloom... the Rest are not tortured.

Balls that have not got into the Bank, had spread with a spoon. 2 balls on the plate are the ones that solidified in the refrigerator. Lolly - SOH in the kitchen night. The difference is obvious. Although in the end the candy it was unnoticed. Yes, after the candy coating chocolate I left them to dry, continue had in the morning.
