Hi brittnee love your channel I have a question, how long do the fillings last, eg. Caramel, ganache etc. Are there any that will go bad quickly, I am very new to chocolate making but would love to make different fillings but I am afraid the fillings wouldn't last very long.

[@BrittneeKay]

@@patricianye2578 Thank you!! You can't know exactly how long unless the fillings are tested for water activity...with that being said ganaches last less long than caramels for example. The more water in the recipe the quicker they'll go bad. More information to come on this on my channel and in my future course! : ) Unofficially, I usually try to eat non-shelf stable chocolates that I make within a week or close to that!

[@patricianye2578]

Thanks brittnee, that has given me a bit more understanding. I think I will stick to more sugar based fillings for now. I love making them, but you can only give away or eat so many in a short period of time. But thanks again for the reply.

[@Norm_ORourke]

I love that you include your errors and describe your problem-solving approach!

[@BrittneeKay]

Glad you find that part helpful! Definitely a lot to always learn! : )

Thank you! I’m so glad!!

I like both styles but think each style could target two different audiences. The😮 coloured ones, which look more fun, would attract teenage chocolate gourmets whilst the gold more classic style would appeal to the more "grown ups". Big trips scheduled to France, Belgium, Hungary and Poland. Best, best trip so far was India, we loved it. As a newbie at making chocolate bonbons, your videos are a great help in teaching various techniques. Thank you. Sorry I dont use Instagram!

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes! I completely agree with what you said on the bonbons! Depends on the event or what the company is going for for sure! : ) Oh that is amazing, have fun on your trip!

[@gabrieleblock4950]

Hi Brittnee , I am a chocolatier from Germany but live in the USA. I have a chocolate shop and about 2 years ago I have added "Designer Truffles" to my list. your videos are inspiring and I love to watch them. As far as travel goes, do it.....I am excited that you visit the "North" and am sure you will get many inspirations form there. ( Just don't add pickled herring to your truffles! )

[@BrittneeKay]

Oh awesome! I love Germany, I have been a couple places there and it was so beautiful! That is amazing you have a chocolate shop! Thank you for the support! Going to go look up pickled herring now...haha

[@sallyjordan4869]

Aww thank you! 💖

[@jamesguay2528]

Great work, very talented. I also follow the bucket list family and recognize you getting your go pro. I went to Le Cordon bleu in Orlando. I did go scuba diving in Grand Cayman for a trip. I look forward to more lessons in cocoa. With gratitude, James

[@BrittneeKay]

Nooo way! I wondered if anyone who follows me would also be fans of theirs! That is so funny, I am just now watching their latest video and just got to that part! 😁 Ah fun, a fellow Le Cordon Bleu-er! Ohh Grand Cayman sounds amazing! 🤩

[@fn1202]

Amazing! I love that you showed the fails because realistically you always have 1 or 2 that don't go how you want but regardless these looked fantastic!

[@BrittneeKay]

Thanks! Yeah! Sometimes the design or unmolding just aren't working haha so frustrating but you learn something each time! 💞

[@LindaSweis]

I'm going to Switzerland next month! Can't wait!

[@BrittneeKay]

Amazingggggg one of my favorite places I've traveled so far!!

I personally would want the professional looking one just because I like neat and clean.

[@BrittneeKay]

[@BrittneeKay]

Thank you so much 😀

[@keilahwilliams8249]

Just came from the cocoa butter experiment video. The technique u use to fill the molds seems so much easier and efficient than the method we learn in culinary school. Thanks for the great video chef! New subscriber:)

[@BrittneeKay]

Oh that’s great to hear! What method did you learn in culinary school I curious! 😃

[@keilahwilliams8249]

@@BrittneeKay We were taught to just pour the chocolate directly into the molds which resulted in a messier product. Often chocolate would pool down the sides of the mold😬. Much prefer using piping bags for direct filling. Can’t wait to try!

[@BrittneeKay]

@@keilahwilliams8249 ohhh yes I learned that too or with a ladle but I really prefer either a measuring cup or bag! 😃

[@psmzelda]

We love to travel. In two weeks we are heading to Switzerland and Italy to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!

[@BrittneeKay]

Ohhhh man that is amazing, good for you and congrats on 30 years! Have you been to either Switzerland or Italy? Switzerland is one of my favorite places, sooooo beautiful like a dreamland!

[@psmzelda]

Yes, I have been to Zurich before. It's amazing. I'm going to see if I can track down some Swiss couverture chocolate while I'm there. 🙂

Can you do a video on making all these tasty fillings?😅

[@BrittneeKay]

I will get into fillings more soon! ☺️

[@Carbonneatedwater]

Hi Brittnee 😊 I'm new to the channel & an amateur chocolate maker- your videos have been so helpful omg bless u 🫶🏾 I was wondering if you have any advice about preserving fillings/keeping shelf stable for bonbons(glucose, invert sugar things like that)? Merci muchly!! You're a star ✨

[@BrittneeKay]

Thank you so much! I am planning to make more videos on shelf life in the future, but am working on developing recipes and planning out my future course. In general fillings high in sugar and low in water will last longer. So caramels will have longer shelf life than ganaches. There are definitely ingredients you can add to extend shelf-life as well, but I can't quite get into that here yet. Another thing to note is that you can't know the shelf-life unless the fillings are tested for water activity. My advice as a beginner would be to focus on mastering chocolate tempering and then step to decorating and molding. Don't worry about long lasting fillings at first because it isn't needed, fill the chocolates with something you enjoy eating and sharing. And then move on to learning about fillings when your'e ready to expand!

[@Carbonneatedwater]

@@BrittneeKay tysm!! I can't wait to see those videos in the future! And I appreciate the advice 💕💕
