To much chocolate? Is that even possible? 😆 Love these!

[@zhippidydoodah]

I bet a chocolate pudding with mint candy would be awesome. ;)

[@julie9577]

WOW!WOW!WOW! I was thinking about investing in a freeze dryer and while doing research, I came across your vids and I am so glad I did! Is it wrong that the chocolate videos may have clinched it? 😄 thanks for all your hard work, John!

You are so kind

[@rabeccalassek9511]

If you have a heating pad, put it on low and set the bowl of melted chocolate on the heating pad. It helps keep the chocolate liquidy while you are dipping your larger batches.

[@JohnInBibs]

Great tip

[@dianeivanoff6312]

"Eats half the batch" 😂😂😂😂😂😂--that would be me thank you John!!! another outstanding video

[@JohnInBibs]

Thanks! 😃

[@buckonono7996]

I wonder if putting the cheesecake filling in a large ziplock bag and then cutting off the corner, would allow you to squeeze the proper amount in each mold cavity. You could pick up the tray the mold sits on and bang it on the counter a couple times to settle it and get out the air bubbles.

[@Mike-ss1ju]

That's how I do it. Less waste/mess.

[@amandaaskew7606]

I forgot all about your milky coffee, and all of these other older treats! I am so glad you did this, if nothing else, for the reminder of these.... and everything is better dipped in chocolate 😉

[@debraramirez9144]

I'm going to make the mint ones for my best friend

[@JohnInBibs]

They will love them

[@JaneDoe42011]

For the coffee ones that you did first. I wonder if you melted the Cool Whip before putting it in the trays if that would prevent it from floating up once you add the coffee. I'm thinking it's the fact that the Cool Whip is whipped that it must have quite a bit of air within it, causing it to float up.

[@JohnInBibs]

that might work

[@bonnieevans1101]

Looks great I think I need to come to your house

[@JohnInBibs]

😆 lol 😆

[@brianschindler1511]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@theresaguidry325]

John, would you mind telling me what avery labels you used to identify candy on back of box. Thanks

[@JohnInBibs]

On this one I used the 18262 address label (picked up at walmart) On the fruit one I used the 1 inch clear circle but I didn't like them that much because it created too much waste and jamming in my printer.

[@acecrispus]

I really love these and went crazy ordering meltables from Michaels. So, i love lemon and ordered some of those. But now, i can't figure out how to pair them. Maybe the cheesecake recipe? Maybe blueberries?? Give me a hint, John!! Love all these - thanks!!

[@JohnInBibs]

Those both sound really good!

[@1952NLS]

What molds are you using? I don't see any in the link above that are 5x12 like yours. Thanks!

[@JohnInBibs]

They are the ones that Harvest Right sells

[@1952NLS]

@@JohnInBibs I have the brown ones but they are larger. I like yours and I am going to have to get some.

[@annhatch2974]

Coming in late for this video. Great ideas. Where did you get your candy boxes/trays? Do you have a link you can share?

[@JohnInBibs]

Thank you. You can find them in my Amazon Store, it is an affiliate link and I earn a small commission on qualified orders which helps my channel. www.amazon.com/shop/johninbibs

[@juliemilliron849]

Wonder if you can leave them in their molds and put in the freeze dryer? I don't know, do you?

[@JohnInBibs]

According to HR you can. But I wouldn't for two reasons. 1 it will take longer to freeze dry and 2 the squares can be very delicate, if you remove after freeze drying the could crumble trying to get them out of the mold

[@juliemilliron849]

@@JohnInBibs Thank you for the information. It is appreciated.

[@beckyryan407]

I make peanut butter balls every year, would you be able to freeze dry them and then dip them?

[@JohnInBibs]

How do you make peanut butter balls? Peanut butter doesn't freeze dry on its own but sometimes you can add it as an ingredient

[@Nalanismusic]

So if you were going to sell these, would you shrink wrap the box? Would you put a desiccant or oxygen absorber inside? I’m ordering a XL freeze dryer soon to aid in my retirement funds and these would be great to sell but I want to make sure they stay fresh if they aren’t sold right away.

[@JohnInBibs]

Sorry, I have no knowledge or advise to give for selling as I have never sold any of my creations. I should imagine there are many hoops to jump through to sell to the public.

[@Nalanismusic]

How many hours did it take in the freeze dryer?

[@deborahhall4013]

This is awesome I also love the strawberry video. The big question if I wanted to wells this what would be the storage recommendation and also how long will they last. Ty😊

[@JohnInBibs]

I stored mine in the refrigerator for several weeks in a sealed container. Really depending on the quality of your dipping chocolate and how well you cover the centers with chocolate is a great factor. You shouldn't have any problems for a few weeks similar to normal chocolate candy. It can start to blossom in the fridge but mine didn't after several weeks

[@deborahhall4013]

Thank you. I was trying to solve that because chocolate if I understand correctly doesn’t have any water so I would assume that the choc would not rehydrate them. Please tell me if a could be wrong. And what if they aren’t refrigerated?

[@JohnInBibs]

The chocolate does not affect the filling. In cool weather and good quality/tempered chocolate you shouldn't have a problem. The only problem is the melting chocolate in warm conditions. In my opinion.

[@TheTwinkletoad]

John, what would happen if you left them in the molds and put them in the dehydrator?

[@JohnInBibs]

They would most likely crumble or fall apart trying to get them out of the molds

[@julieheckman4167]

Question ... Why do you keep in refrigerator ? If freeze dried shouldn't you be able to leave at room temp. I would like to give as gifts , but would need to be room temp.

[@JohnInBibs]

Chocolate melts in a hot house

[@jamesmunn4689]

Try adding an almond in there

[@beckyryan407]

Would cappuccino work for the recipe as well?

[@JohnInBibs]

Don't see why not

[@dartagnantaft5918]

I bet if you chilled your coffee mixture the whipped cream would stay stuck to the bottom.

[@JohnInBibs]

That sounds like it would work!

[@EGGstravagantkitchen]

Never to much chocolate
