I really liked the look of this silicone mould so it made it's way home with me. I experimented a little - some with the candied orange and chocolate, then some ginger. I tried the same mixtures with marzipan too. Then some big chunks of mixed candied peel and chocolate, and some with just plain nuts! I ended up decorating with some shreds of gold leaf. They looked fab! Great for small christmas gifts.
A small bar made 13 mixed fruit & ginger chocolates.
My first try. The mould worked perfectly. I used the oven to temper the chocolate. Next time remember to keep the mould cool before coating. It did make some quite interesting marbling effects as the filling mixed with the dark coating but that's not always desirable.
the gold leaf really looks great in candlelight.
what to try next? fudge, fondant, dominosteine?
