Cream Filled Chocolate Candy
I especially love chocolates with strawberry or raspberry filling. Okay, okay, maple is pretty high up on the list too. They have some really yummy ones at Chatham's Fine Chocolates. Mmmm! I also insist on telling you about Nirvana Chocolates. I absolutely love their idea of letting you choose exactly which chocolates you want in your box!!! Finally, someone who KNOWS me. When I order their chocolates, I don't have to squish cause I love every single one! Picture me smiling. :)  Yes, it is a bit pricey sometimes to order your own chocolates. (Although, I think we each deserve to splurge every now and then). But, don't worry you can make your own. Once you have chosen a fondant recipe for cream filled chocolate candy, or perhaps liquor filled chocolate candy you will have to temper the chocolate.After that you can follow these easy but fun steps to creating your own homemade cream filled candy. If you want to cheat a bit on the filling, I discovered a scrumptious selection of pre-packaged creme filling flavors in decorating bags ready to squeeze into the molds. What a time saver! And they are only a couple of dollars. Alright, alright, they are at Candyland Crafts and One Stop Candle. Give a girl a chance to finish a sentence. :) Step 1  Spoon a small amount (about 1/2 tsp.) of tempered chocolate into the bottom of the mold and spread it up the sides using a pastry brush or small art brush depending on the size of the mold. You can even start with a bit of colored chocolate as shown in the photo, to give it that extra eye appeal. Chill until firm. Be sure to use enough chocolate on the sides to make a decent shell for your filling. Some recipes recommend that you brush on a second layer after the first layer has set. Just use your judgment. These and over 2000 other molds can be found at Candyland Crafts, along with multi colored chocolate melts. They have just about everything you can think of. :) Step 2 Carefully spoon your chosen flavored filling into each shell until almost full.  Step 3Spoon enough tempered chocolate over the top to cover it well. Tap the molds on the counter gently to remove air bubbles. Chill until firm. Turn the molds over to release the candies. Enjoy! Tempering chocolate for cream filled chocolate candy can be a bit fiddly, but the end results are, oh, so good. Your family, friends, and guests will really be impressed... ...that is, if you don't eat them all yourself! Return from Cream Filled Chocolate Candy to Chocolate Candy Mall.com Homepage

I have always adored cream filled chocolate candy. Like a lot of kids, I would squish the bottoms of every chocolate in the box to find my favorites. I was always searching for the cream filled chocolates.
