Shine On Chocolate?
by Penny
Thank you for the awesome help in storing almond bark with cranberries. Now, I have another question... I want to dip strawberries in chocolate but never seem to get a shine on them, how do you get the shine in the chocolate. I have been using Merkins chocolate and melting it and then dipping the strawberry. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks again for your help, just love this site. ~Penny Hi Penny, Glad to be of help. Thanks for your kind words about the site, too. :) There are different ways to get shiny chocolate. The most time consuming way to make chocolate shiny is to temper the chocolate. Tempering gives the chocolate a sharper crack and a shinier appearance. You can also usually get the chocolate to shine just by adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate when melting. In fact, quite often people use paraffin wax for the same purpose - about 1 tablespoon does the trick. Try one of those suggestions and see how they turn out. Let me know! ~Angie |
