Very informative. Just what I’ve been wanting to know about the difference between chocolate melts and candy melts. Thank you.

The real fluffiness lasts for just a little bit. Although your P-nut Brittle looks flat it does have very tiny air bubbles that you can hardly see.
You aren’t doing anything wrong… it’s suppose to be pretty flat when it sets.

I would strongly recommend the extra cost and effort and use premium chocolate. Chocolate chips are NOT
real chocolate and not an aceptable grade for exceptional candy making. If you are taking the time to make
yummy truffles, treat “yourself” to great confections Thanks for asking, please keep us posted..Enjoy!!

What about Lindt chocolate? I live in Germany so it’s available in the local grocery, whereas a lot of places won’t ship to me from the States.

Comment on Chocolate Q&A by Lynn

Are you trying to make chocolate confections (candy) OR are you trying to make pure chocolate from scratch.
If you are wanting to make gourmet chocolate candies Merckens, Callabeaut and Nestle/Peters as well as Valrhona, Guittard and Ghiradelli are all available online and will ship anywhere in the world I would expect.
If you want to actually manufacture your own chocolate from the cacao bean… I have never tried that but know there are many sites with that info on them! Good luck.
