The one I don't have pictures of is the Jellies. They're kind of like jello blocks made with fruit puree (so it's WAY better) and rolled in a citric acid/sugar mixture (the stuff they put on Sour Patch Kids!). I made Cherry-Lime and they came out fantastically, even if they did look a bit rough. They only looked rough because the way I had my set up arranged (like Chef told us), it was too hard to adjust the size of it and I couldn't get it all spread out before the jelly solidified.
Anyway, I did make chocolate caramels as well.
Mmm...melting chocolate.....bleh.
So they're basically melted chocolate and caramel (which I don't have a picture of)
poured into a mold of candy bars (that's those silver things) and chilled
Then they get cut into little bits of lovely tastiness. :-D
I also made nougat. Doesn't this big, squishy, slimy mass I'm kneading look appetizing?
How about now? I made cherry-pecan and they were great!!
Nougat is kind of fun. It's essentially just egg whites, sugar and butter (with a few other token ingredients) with internal garnish. It gets all stiff and sticky and squishy...and then it gets chilled and magically tasty!
