Which is why a possibly slighly failed homemade bunch of chocolates mght be more appreciated than one easily bought in a shop

Probably, but then for the specific case I have to deal with the fact that sadly she doesn't like alcohol

Chocolate filled with chocolate is pretty much the best way to go

If she could decide, she would agree with this :D however, I have started planning some: cinnamon, pistachio, milk chocolate with hazelnuts, dark chocolate with Strega liquor, triple chocolate. Orange filling is kind of intriguing, but I don't think I will be able to get proper ingredients sadly. I would love mou or trying to make a kind of chocolate called cremino. I would also like preparing truffles, but they appear really complicated to me

The real problem is being able to prepare correct quantities of filling and of chocolate for covering!

Sounds to me like the real problem may be remembering all those ingredients.

Nah, that is easy: when I was at my first year of university I used to remember atomic weights of some element up to the fourth decimal. Then I got old and decided to start making chocolate

It's easy though.

 

Is it chocolate?

 

Yes --> Keep it

No --> Get rid of it

 

Done

Best way to enjoy it. Especially inside dark chocolate

I wonder what would our South American collegues have to say about these dishes.
