Homemade 3 Musketeers Chocolate Candies - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in #photography7 years ago

Hey again Steemians! How is your weekend going?

I don't know about you but I think chocolate is always the answer no matter what the question.

I have to admit that there are a few kinks in the perfection of these little beauties and they are a bit more challenging to make if you aren’t familiar in the kitchen. They have a few steps that require multi-tasking and focus. They also require a bit of patience when cutting and prepping to dip because they are soft and sticky. It’s a desirable trait for them after they are dipped but it does make it harder to make them.

I did some testing for this recipe to get the perfect one. The first batch was too soft and I ended up turning it into a delicious 3 musketeers pie that I may just have to repeat because it was as good as these candies if not better. The second batch was better, but not there yet. I think my brother single-handedly ate the entire batch, though. Way to be a team player, right?

Then I arrived at this one. Like I said, it’s not perfect but I at least know that its better than anything you will find in a wrapper. So I hope you’re feeling adventurous in the kitchen today because these are worth the effort!

So sweet of you, thanks @rashley01

hi friend
I hope you are well
Even if you are far away but with you also, I see a lot of wondering why suraijhata and seeing and watching us both surrujah so suruzali is the same place we lived closer to the occasion.

3 Musketeers is my third fav after Reeses and Mounds.

Ahh, yes, mounds. Mounds with almonds or not?

Almond Joy has almonds, Mounds is the same thing without the almonds. :)
