Can anybody guess what I did last night? Yup, I made about 10 pounds of chocolate: molded, fruit dipped, and centers. I’ve made several hundred pounds of chocolate since my college days, when I first started making it as gifts and then for sale. However, there is a bit of learning curve and the first time I made it my house smelled like burnt chocolate for over a week. If you’ve never smelt burnt chocolate, let me tell you it is very disgusting!

If you are wondering about the pineapple for Larry, it is so good! Fresh pineapple chunks covered in dark chocolate is something that I was first introduced to when I was up in Boston checking out Harvard (yeah, so didn’t go there). So, I decided to let Larry have a thing for it, since I still do. If you’d like the recipe for any of the above things or other chocolates, I’d be happy to provide. Oh, and remember, I’m lazy, so my recipes are so simple it is funny.

Good, send me some chocolate - I'm in withdrawal. Pineapple in chocolate is good; so is pineapple on pizza, though it be a bitch to get.
Alright, who gave Alania the sugar? :hands out Hershey bars:

Those... are too pretty to eat... :salivates:

philleegirl February 16 2007, 21:19:41 UTC

Huh... The guys at work certainly didn't think so. I've got the bites on my finger to prove it!

So my mother makes chocolate and so I know what you're talking about cause that's how she used to make it....

And You made me love Charlie so much more in here, because one of my favorite things EVER are chocolate-covered Marshmallows!! Delicious!

philleegirl February 16 2007, 00:52:32 UTC

Ick! I hope you didn't used to eat it, if she burnt it!

Have you ever tried "stained glass," if you like chocolate covered marshmallows? They are fun and delicious.... Now, I want to make them! Sigh!

buhdderkupp February 16 2007, 01:26:04 UTC

I've never heard of stained glass...what is it?

philleegirl February 16 2007, 01:33:54 UTC

Oh, it is so great! You take those little mini-colored marshmallows and coat them in chocolate. Then you take the still soft chocolate and marshmallow glop and wrap it in wax paper and slip it into an empty paper towel tube. Roll it around so the chocolate and marshmallows get very round. Chill it really, really well. When chilled, pull it out of the tube and slice thinly with a sharp, heated knife. The colored marshmallows make this neat pattern and the chocolate looks like the lead of stained glass, thus the name. Plus! It tastes AWESOME!!!!

hi,

sorry i didn't review before. But I liked this fic very much.

The idea of burnt choco yuck! I've done that.

funny how we were both on the same wave length with making candy involving Megan and Larry... but we came out with two distinct different stories.

philleegirl February 21 2007, 01:39:18 UTC

Hey, sweetie!

I will NEVER yell at anyone for later/not reviewing, cause I'm so bad about it. (You know how crazy my RL can be.)

Isn't burnt chocolate the WORST? God, I hate that smell.

I loved your white chocolate moon and stars, that was so sweet. Of course, when I hear chocolate, my first thought is making chocolate. It is how I paid for my books at college. And I had to throw Alania in there, cause it was always more fun to work with my cousin's kiddies.

elysium1996 February 21 2007, 02:03:42 UTC

no worries!

BTW how is the arm? cast? if you have one should come off in what 2 more weeks?

that is a great idea for a way to pay for books. an old job i had about 8 yrs ago a woman made chocolate candy of all sorts for the holdays.

i like to make chocolate covered caramel pretzels. messy as hell and my technique is improvng.... they come out not so purty looking but they taste like heaven.

alright take care of yourself......i know i can beat burnt chocolate with something else..... hmm?

philleegirl February 21 2007, 02:28:40 UTC

The arm is actually all better. I just got cleared. Since it was a crush and not a break, there was no cast and a shortened heal time.

Used to sell the chocolate to other students and profs and other friends.

I've never made chocolate cover caramel pretzels, but they sound good. I tend to make really pretty things that I'm always worried don't taste good
