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!

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 Olympian1010 and dcro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,182 Posted December 15, 2019 #300 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I wonder what would our South American collegues have to say about these dishes. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
