Ingredients list for the chocolate bites
Makes 40 bites:
- 1/2 lb (225g) milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup (110ml) whipping cream
- 1 tbsp (10g) of glucose syrup
- 3 1/2 oz (100 g) feuilletine
- 1/3 lb (150 g) dark chocolate, for the coating
Note: Feuilletine looks like a wafer crunch. You can find it online, in grocery stores, in the baking section. You can substitute Rice Krispies, but it tastes a bit different.
Directions
1. Bring the cream and syrup to a boil in a saucepan, then remove from the heat and add the crushed milk chocolate. Stir constantly to form a homogeneous mixture.
2. Drop small dollops of ganache on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the mixture harden, then form small balls using your fingers.
3. Temper your dark chocolate: This step looks a bit complicated, but it’s really not. You’ll need an instant cooking thermometer. Using a double boiler, melt 2/3 of crushed chocolate and bring it at 115°F (46°C), stirring regularly. When that point is reached, remove from the heat and add the remaining 1/3 of crushed chocolate. This will progressively bring the temperature down to 84°F (29°C). Once this temperature is reached, remove any chocolate pieces that have not melted. Reheat quickly to reach a final temp of 90°F.
4. Dip each ball into the tempered chocolate and quickly coat in a plate filled with feuilletine.
5. Let cool completely. Your chocolate bites are ready!
