@@BrittneeKay I just bought my first polycarbonate chocolate mold for the breakable Easter egg to make my 3 grandchildren a Easter box with goodies I am nervous but have faith it will work out I will post pictures
These are very pretty. I am new to chocolate (just made my second batch of chocolate from raw beans), and I've not messed with ruby chocolate yet, but I intend to! How much lemon flavor does the lemon extract impart on the final product? I imagine you could also use everclear or something if you just needed a volatile carrier for the glitter.
Welcome and thank you!! It leaves a hint of lemon I’d say. Yes you can use vodka or even 200 proof food grade ethanol too. I haven’t tried everclear myself but I’ve heard people mention it!
It’s literally gorgeous. Simple and chic ! Thanks for sharing 🥰 I have a question please: how much time can we store a painted chocolate mould ( With coloured coco butter ) ? I mean can I prepare my moulds few days before filling them with chocolate? Thanks 😊 a lot !
Aww thank you so much!! 💖 Oh great question, yes you can totally decorate a chocolate mold in advance if stored properly. You'll want it in a cool and dry room (under 70 F about and less than 50% humidity). They can be stored safely for a really long time so you will be good for just a few days. I've decorated molds a month in advance before shelling and they came out great!
That is definitely another technique, which I'll be getting into soon. But for the metallic silver I want it to be just the silver without cocoa butter so it's better to use alcohol so that it evaporates and leaves just the powder. Of course mixing metallics with cocoa butter is also an option, I just didn't use that technique here. :)
Thanks! I have this little chocolate tray made with acrylic. I bought it from Savour School shop but I don’t recommend as shipping from Australia is a lot 😂 But if you want something like it I would look on Etsy and there are people who do custom sizes!
@@beuba5938 Now that's a good question! lol I don't have it near me at the moment, but it's just about the same size as all of my polycarbonate molds and those are usually about 11" x 6-7". Next time I'm in my kitchen I can try to remember to measure mine exactly if you'd like!
@@sharondhillion471 The lemon extract is naturally high in alcohol content. I'm not sure, I've never seen alcohol free lemon extract. If it is then it won't work for this because it won't evaporate as quickly as you need it to! :)
It is high in alcohol which helps it evaporate quickly, but it is high in alcohol in the same way that vanilla extract is. If you’re asking if it’s considered alcohol the same way as vodka is then no.
HELLO MY NAME IS ROSE, AFTER TEMPING THE FOUR CHOCOLATES; DARK, WHITE MILK, AND RUBY CHOCOLATE MI ARE THESE CHOCOLATES SWEET ENOUGH WITHOUT ADDING SOME. KIND OF SWEET IN THE CHOCOLATE???
All of the chocolate is formulated to be delicious right out of the package, of course there are different sweetnesses, but they are made ready to go :)
Hi Brittnee. I have a chocolate challenge for yah. Areo chocolate bar. Challenging part is the airieness in the chocolate bubble holes. Please try to make it. I believe how to cook that channel tried several different methods on creating the airieness in the chocolate. I guess it very difficult
Ohhhhh I love this suggestion! I have eaten bars like that but haven't thought of how they're made. I'm going to add this to my list and research it! Sounds really fun, thank you!
Your very welcome. It's going to be interesting how your going to try to achieve it. Hope it works out. Like I said how to cook that tried several methods so check it out hope you achieve a great result
me again with QUESTIONS??:)) I have read and learn that you should only use oil base paints for Couverture,, but you used lemon extract, is that a oil base
Great! So lemon extract or vodka is used because of the high alcohol content. They will evaporate and leave just the powder, so are used with chocolate often! What you want to avoid is water based colors because the water base will not mix with chocolate. So yes you need to use oil based colors or fat soluble colors when working with chocolate. The reason the alcohol doesn’t matter is because once it evaporates it’s gone! 🤩
How would you decorate this fresh fruity chocolate bar?
I am happy that I found you now I will work on this and will show you my work ❤
Amazing!!
Thank you Britney; I been looking on how to use silver metallic powder and now I know how thanks to you 😘
Happy to help! Glad you found me 😁😁
Ruby red has interesting color. I loved hearing the sharp Crack break at the end.... awsome
Yeah! haha This ruby chocolate really set up snappy!
It looks good like the way the bars came out
Thank you!!

Because of you, I bought this chocolate and I love it. Thank you
Awesome job
Awww yay! I'm so glad you love it!
Hi Brittnee. It looks like Art Day in Brittnee’s kitchen today, lol, how cool is that silver everywhere especially on the mold, haha.
Thanks! I'm glad you also appreciate the silver everywhere. I love the look of it when it dries on the mold before cleaning it off 😍
Really into the Ruby with silver 🤓💕
Love Ruby and silver 🤩 (thnx for the strawberriez)
@@BrittneeKay LOL didn’t even think of that

You're so welcome, thank you! @@lumiereespoir9523
Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Yeahyyyyy!!!!!! 💢💢🤣🤣🤣nice to see you
Thank you very much - looks delicious🌺 [for coloring If I do not have lemon extract is it possible to melt (dilute) the powder with vodka] 🌹🙏🌹
You're welcome! Yes, vodka works great!
🙏@@BrittneeKay

So beautiful and they look so good! What did you use to flip the chocolate bars over? 😏
Thanks! I have this little chocolate tray made with acrylic. I bought it from Savour School shop but I don’t recommend as shipping from Australia is a lot 😂 But if you want something like it I would look on Etsy and there are people who do custom sizes!
What size is your tray?
@@beuba5938 Now that's a good question! lol I don't have it near me at the moment, but it's just about the same size as all of my polycarbonate molds and those are usually about 11" x 6-7". Next time I'm in my kitchen I can try to remember to measure mine exactly if you'd like!
If you could measure it I’d really appreciate it ♥️
@@beuba5938 Yes I will set a reminder! haha 😃
So beautiful! What did you add to the silver powder?
In place of the lemon extract is there anything else that can be used ?
I use lemon extract because I like the smell :) You can also use vodka!
Is the lemon extract alcohol free ? We get normal lemon extract and one that has alcohol in it
@@sharondhillion471 The lemon extract is naturally high in alcohol content. I'm not sure, I've never seen alcohol free lemon extract. If it is then it won't work for this because it won't evaporate as quickly as you need it to! :)
That you so much for the advice
Very nice
Thanks! 🥰
Is it better to use the plastic bowl or stainless steel bowl
Depends on your method for melting! Plastic for microwave, stainless steel for double boiler 🙂🙂
The lemon extract u use is it alcohol free ?
It is high in alcohol which helps it evaporate quickly, but it is high in alcohol in the same way that vanilla extract is. If you’re asking if it’s considered alcohol the same way as vodka is then no.
Nice :)
