Melinda,

I’m glad you enjoyed making chocolates! My mom has a great peppermint filling recipe that I’ll try to find and post tomorrow, but in the meantime, here’s a link to a site that posts several different fillings (like chocolate, flavored cremes, caramel, etc). I might have to try the caramel!

Hope that helps!

Okay, so I had a lot of fun playing with chocolate on the 13th. Enough that I went and bought some actual molds, instead of using the flexible ice cube trays I used for Valentine’s. I’m going to try the filling, but I was wondering if you had any other filling recipes or would know where to find them? Thanks.

Hi Melanie,

It's a 1/4 stick (2 tbsp) of melted butter. I've adjusted the directions above to make it a little more clear.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m all excited to try the peanut butter filled chocolates. I have one question. Do you mean 1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 stick (2 Tablespoons) of melted butter? Thanks so much!

These look so yummy, especially the peanut butter filled ones. Using the paint brush to spread the chocolate is such a great idea!!

This is a wonderful idea. Thank you for such great directions. I might have to look into getting some candy molds.

First I wanted to say I enjoy your site.
When I make chocolate candy, I put my melted chocolate candy in some little squirt bottles to fill them up quickly.

This is a great tutorial! I’ve only made the solid kind, and they usually don’t look that great. I’m going to try the paintbrush to smooth out the back, and might get brave enough to try to make the filled chocolates as well. Thanks for posting this!
