[@OrganicFaithFactory]

Thanks!

[@mcdoctorglock]

Great video! I just wanted to add a few things I've learned when working at a chocolate factory... 1) White chocolate isn't chocolate- it's everything BUT the cacao, hence the term used is white paste. 2) The Ghirardelli chips have a surfactant in it to give it a nice shine and make it easier to remove from the mold. 3) Tempering is like you said- very important! I've installed temperors that are the size of industrial refrigerators; factories don't mess around, it's that important to the final product. 4) Cooled bars need to be brought to room temperature in stages so condensation doesn't ruin the surface finish with clouding and crystallization. This might be hard to do in a home setting, but I think you're up for it!

[@RachMonPhoebs]

Properly made white chocolate contains cocoa butter, the natural fat found in the cocoa (cacao) bean. As long as it contains a minimum percentage of that natural, cocoa based ingredient, it can be considered chocolate, per FDA regulations and guidelines from the Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute.

[@Puglover130]

You seem very pedantic. You and I have seen white chocolate bars, chips, etc hundreds of times and never have they been labeled as “white paste”. It’s white CHOCOLATE because it contains cocoa butter solids. As opposed to those low quality candy confection melts. There are labeling standards (maybe not in the US) that you cannot label something chocolate if it doesn’t have the cocoa butter, just like certain low fat ice creams have to be labeled “frozen dairy dessert” as ice cream needs to be a certain MF.

[@amberford300]

I've actually seen like 4 other videos of these being made and I think yours are the best looking ones. The issue with the others is the filling was showing before they even broke the bar in half so good job on making it look so professional

[@CanadianDot]

That looks delicious! FYI, the stuff that is usually used for the coloured spatters and stuff on chocolate bars is coloured cocoa butter!

[@serenaoliver3401]

I made this following your recipe and it turned out amazing! Thankyou so much. I used molds that give the chocolate a holographic look and they turned out beautiful 🤩

This video makes me want to host a chocolate making party where I have a bunch of different fillings and options to color your chocolate for my friends. We’ve done gingerbread and cookie decorating before and I think it would be so fun for everyone to get to take home a bar of their own chocolate!

[@I.am.nik91]

I have tried to actual bar. It’s delicious and indulgent. The shop is only open 30 mins per day due to stock. And only have a shelf life of a few days. They have other flavours too.

[@RadBadJodster]

I am glad this tastes so good because the filling is most unappealing to me. The gold foil looks terrific!!! ❤

[@lanieleigh9970]

I would make the filling and spread it out to the thickness you desire on a silicone baking sheet then put it in the freezer for a few hours until hardened then remove and cut it into the desired size and shape then melt 12 ounces of semi sweet or dark chocolate chips and 1 1/2 ounces of flavorless vegetable oil in a double boiler and then dip the chilled filling into the chocolate to coat and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set. I find trying to use a mold to make filled chocolate bars is difficult to ensure they are coated evenly and sealed whereas dipping them ensures they are sealed and by spreading out the filling and cutting to the desired size and shape you end up with a better bar. I do this method a lot with my nougat bars and I have another recipe that has a filling similar to nougat just softer and fluffier but it has bits of candied fruit and pistachio nuts in it.

[@auri227]

Lived that u did ur second attempt. 😊 I saw a girl that made it in a small Tupperware container and came out awesome. Maybe u can try this to prove it works.

[@asdfghjklpoi1529]

[@strictlyhylian]

thank you Emmy for explaining the importance of tempering chocolate or using a compound chocolate. As a pastry chef, I've seen way too many tiktoks of people dumping it in the molds willy nilly and it irks me. In my opinion using real chocolate and tempering it is actually better to achieve the correct thickness of outer shell. Once in temper, the chocolate only needs a few moments to crystalize before removing the excess (a whole different technique is used for the polycarbonate molds). Great video!

[@ThePoorStudent]

Appreciated your prototyping approach of redo-ing the process to correct any flaws. I've done this recipe with shredded wheat and peanut butter because I live in the middle of nowhere and can't get shredded filo dough or pistachio butter. Still works! Also, more fibre. I'll have to find the chocolate mold you had in the second try.

I LOVE your videos, you are one of the smartest people on KZbin, and so clever and inquisitive. This is the first time I've seen you get tripped up-- "dark chocolate flavored melting wafers”--those are candy melts as well. That's why they don't need tempering--they're not actually chocolate. Legally, per the FDA requirements, things that are labeled as "chocolate flavored" don't contain enough minimum cocoa-based ingredients to qualify as straight-up chocolate. The shiny-ness is coming from the high oil content in the wafers.
