Vegan chocolates "Ferrero Mon Chéri" (Kuesschen in Germany)-Style

Hi folks,

last week i had a few days of vacation and I tried to relax which was only a half-way success.

But forget it. Tomorrow I´ll have to go to work. Sigh !
But now, life can be fun, either when you have to go to work.

On wednesdays we went shopping and I bought two 15-pieces-trays of silicone-chocolate-molds.

Yesterday I dried to make vegan chocolates, Ferrero-Mon-Cheri-Style (here in Germany they are called "Kuesschen" (kisses) for there are other chocolates called "Mon Cheri" (a cherry-liquor filled chocolate, distrubuted by Ferrero).

I melted some vegan chocolate and filled it into the cooled-down molds. After waiting half-a-minute the leftover chocolate was poured out and the silicone-thing went again into the freezer. Vegan nougat was mixed with roasted and grated hazelnuts.
After the chocolate-concaves were firm, I put in the nougat-filling and pinch hazelnuts onto the filling, one hazelnut for each chocolate. After cooling down (again) I topped them with another batch of liquid couverture.

My first try making vegan chocolates was very delicouc though its a long way making them for everything must be cooled down for several times and the couverture melts fast in your hands.....

But, I think, I shouldn´t bother, they look fine for me....






















Sorry, there´s no recipe so far, because that was only a preliminary.

Greetz,

Holger
