Gold & Raspberry Truffles

Course Dessert

Equipment

  • Small Candy Molds I used Wilton silicone mini molds
  • 1 Syringe Brand new from Amazon for cooking and crafts
  • 2 Paintbrushes
  • Tweezers for gold leaf

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melts
  • 1/4 cup Ghirardelli White chocolate melts
  • 1/4 cup Freeze dried raspberries
  • 1 ounce Seven Seals Port Wood Finish Whisky
  • Edible Gold Leaf optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the chocolate melts in microwave safe containers.
  • Microwave each for 1 minute 45 seconds on half power.
  • Using a paintbrush, make a design on the inside of the mold. I used white chocolate.
  • Let cool.
  • Using a paintbrush, apply a thick coat of the alternating color to the whole inside of the molds. I made eight chocolates.
  • Let cool.
  • Add raspberry pieces into each mold.
  • Using the syringe, add enough whisky to soak the raspberry pieces with a little extra.
  • Using a spoon or a piping bag, cover the chocolates to seal them.
  • Place in the freezer for about five minutes to fully set the chocolate. (Mine were a little messy because I just covered them without using the freezer.)
  • Turn the candies out of the mold and place on a plate.
  • Top with optional gold leaf.
