Oh, what Joy! Another box of chocolate supplies arrived today. I got a new mold in the shape of a cocoa pod. Very charming! I bought it at Chef Rubber. I also got unflavored pop rocks from this website. Holy Moly! This is the most fun chocolate recipe. I added a healthy dose of the pop rocks into dark chocolate, and added cayenne pepper and alaea Hawaiian salt (course ground) into the mix. I broke in the cocoa pod mold with this awesome recipe. I nailed it! It was perfect.
I got to use my triangle mold from Chocoley for the 2nd time. In this recipe, I chopped up “Bold Jalapeno Smokehouse” Almonds (from Blue Diamond) & combined them with white chocolate. It is fabulous. I am making some of the best chocolates I have ever tasted. But then you have to figure, I am making them exactly for my own taste buds. So, I had better nail it. It was a great day for the Amateur Chocolatier!
