Recipe Notes
Jo’s Tips
- If you are not a big fan of dark chocolate, choose a chocolate with 40-50% cocoa to achieve a sweeter result.
- The more you work the chocolate by folding gently, the shinier your final chocolates will be.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use any food bag and cut off a small corner.
- Make it raw by skipping the vegan caramel and using raw chocolate warmed up gently to body temperature.
- Get creative with the fillings; any nuts, seeds or dried fruit will work great.
