Hey Angie! Do you have a recipe for earl grey chocolate? I look for it but found just earl grey miso bonbons.
@angilearnshowtochocolate2 күн бұрын
Hi! I'm using between 2-4% loose leave earl grey. It always depends what kind of chocolate you want to make (white, milk, dark?) and the quality of your tea. But 2-4% is a good starting point :)

I'm late to the game here, but I love your content and especially your raw transparency. You're so amazing for those things alone. And I'm honestly happy to hear not everyone is jumping on the Dubai bandwagon. The name of the company is Fix. What I've done is follow them just for idea purposes and wondering how they're able to make and sell such bars without compromising the quality with a short expiration date, if that makes any sense. I'm not sure what the expirations on their bars are, but I know if I were to make a filled bar with my ideas, they would need refrigeration and would need to be eaten within a month, so that is something I'm trying to figure out. I also cannot afford lessons from others who charge over $200, unfortunately... I lack motivation, anyway, so it's not something I need to figure out now and I'm grateful to have a full time job. So things I love to do and would love to be paid for are done on the side, but again, I have been severely lacking motivation, so it's not going anywhere. Maybe that will change in 2025... Keep up the excellent work, Angie!
@angilearnshowtochocolate3 күн бұрын
I never really looked into the shelf life (or honestly anything at all 🤣) of those bars. Would be curious tho! Maybe they just have a short shelf life? I think making chocolate and confections of any kind is a wonderful hobby and don’t think we have to make a business out of everything we like doing, even if we’re good at it 😊

@tiffanyartsruni7097 my chocolate is very thick because I don’t use an emulsifier, so you’re better off with Callebaut 😊 colors/chocolate getting stuck in molds is mostly caused by improperly tempered chocolate/colors or the kitchen temperature and/or humidity is too high

@angilearnshowtochocolate6 күн бұрын
If you like the chocolate you're currently using I wouldn't necessarily replace it with something else. I'd buy a small bag cacao butter and add little when melting your chocolate. This will "dilute" and reduce the viscosity of it.

You can always add more whiskey to make it stronger 😋 If you want a stronger whiskey flavor you can also add whiskey into your filling at the very end. I’m making my own chocolate, so it’s not particularly made for bon bons to be honest(it’s very thick, but tastes so good). But my favorite couvertures are from Valrhona.

Loved the video. (BTW, Fuchsia is pronounced "few-sha"). It sounds like you were saying that tempering the colored cocoa butter just involved heating it to melt the crystals, then cooling below 30^C. Is that correct? That seems simple enough
@angilearnshowtochocolate2 ай бұрын
Thank you :) If you melt the crystals then you have to retemper. If you manage to melt the color without reaching temperatures higher than 30-32C you can use it right away. I'm not great at that because I do multiple things at once all the time, so I like to temper with "seeds" but there are various ways to do temper.

Love your channel Angi. I’ve learned much from your videos. I do local farmer’s markets and people are really sensitive to price increases. However, I am in a rural area where people are open minded to price increases (they have all been subjected to it). I have not increased prices since early spring and don’t want to again if possible. I buy my chocolate so I have started buying in 10 kilo bags to reduce the price. When people realize the quality of what we sell, they usually are more receptive of our prices. Keep up the good work! Love it when you come out with new videos.
