Easy Chocolate Candies Recipes

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

EASY (BUT ELEGANT) CHOCOLATE CANDY

Steps:

• Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish.
• Heat for 1 minute and stir.
• If needed, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
• Stir in one or two of the filling ingredients listed.
• The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don't add so much that the mixture doesn't hold together.
• Spoon mixture into mini candy papers.
• Garnish with more the the Filling Ingredient (s) used or drizzle, in a contrasting chocolate, in a zig-zag pattern on top.
• TIPS: do not allow moisture to come in contact with the chocolate while it is melting or it will "bind" and become an unusable mess.
• Make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry.
