    How to Make Liquor Filled Chocolates

    Melting Chocolate

    Take chocolate in a microwave safe bowl preferably glass. Place chocolate bowl in microwave. Microwave chocolate at 20 seconds interval until chocolate is melted. it will take less than a minute. Remove the bowl every 20 seconds and gently mix using a spatula. Mix until all the chocolate is melted. Mix till smooth and set aside.

    If you don't have microwave, you can melt chocolate in a double boiler. Place water in a sauce pan, bring it to a boil. Take chopped chocolate in a heat safe bowl, place the chocolate over the sauce pan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the simmering water. Use a spatula to gently mix the chocolate until it is all melted.

    Take a silicone chocolate mould. Spoon the melted chocolate in and spread evenly.  Now put this in fridge or freezer and leave to set till chocolate hardens, it will take less than 5 mins. Make sure you get a thick layer of chocolate on the silicon mould. for achieving this You can even do double layer of chocolate coating. Once the first layer hardens, remove the silicon mould from freezer and add some more chocolate and coat again. Pop it back into the freezer to harden. 

    Liquor filling.

    Mix filling ingredients till creamy. You just need a bowl and spoon or whisk to do this. The mixture has to be thick and spoonable. If it is too runny, you can refrigerate the filling for few minutes to harden.

    Notes

    • Use good quality chocolate for this recipe. It enhances the taste of the end product.
    • You can use any extract in the filling to make the flavours you like.
    • The filling has to be thick for easy filling. if the filling is runny, You can mix the filling and pop it in fridge for few minutes to harden.
    • Transfer the filling to a piping bag and snip off the end. This makes the process easy. But you can use a spoon to do the filling too.
    • Make sure you take your time to melt the chocolate. Don't melt the chocolate in high temp else the chocolate will seize. 
    • When melting the chocolate in microwave melt it in 20 second interval else the chocolate may seize.
    • When melting the chocolate in double boiler, make sure no water gets into the chocolate. Even 1 drop of water may seize the chocolate mixture.
    • Silicon moulds are best for making filled chocolates, but other plastic moulds will work too.
    • When spreading chocolate in silicon moulds make sure you get a thick coating and also even coating with no gaps. Else the filling may leak when un moulding. 
    • Freeze the chocolate solid before trying to de mould.

        You have to pour the chocolate into the mould and coat it first. then add filling in it. I have shown that clearly in the images

        I just made chocolate 6 oz of Andy's mint and about 2 oz of 80 proof vodka, so about a 1:3 ratio -- a little more generous and concentrated. And no filling. I melted the chocolate using a double boiler method, let the chocolate cool down a bit, as to not let the alcohol cook-off, added the vodka, greased up a plastic container with a liberal amount of oil, poured the chocolate in there in order to later and turn it into smaller bars 4 pieces of chocolate. It's cooling down in the freezer now. I'm curious as to what will happen when it has frozen if it starts to cool down. In other words, will it get a bit watery from the water content in the vodka? It'll be an interesting experiment to see. If it does, I'll probably just pour off the water and refreeze it. Or maybe I won't pour off the water before I refreeze it, since alcohol is an isotrope, and so some of that booze will be lost if I separate any of the liquid.

      I just made these with Tequila Rose and they are very good. These were the best and easiest filled chocolates I made this year. I put the filling in a squeeze bottle and that made it so easy. Thank you for the recipe
