Homemade 3 Musketeers Chocolate Candies - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in photography •  7 years ago 

Hey again Steemians! How is your weekend going?

DSC_0120.jpg

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!

Do you mind reading my article if you're interested in ?

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. :)

I love chocolate and these candies are right up my alley! I get everyone involved with chocolate candy making at Christmas. It is a fun thing for the whole family. It was getting a little crowded in the kitchen with 19 bodies, so we divide into teams and make it a competition with the various teams in different rooms making different candies. Even the very little ones get involved. Someone has to lick the bowls, right?

This is becoming a habit, a long time to reply to your great comments, so sorry.

Fun for the whole family in candy making, I totally agree. 19, wow, sounds like my house.

My sister, @fullhope, her official job is bowl licker, very important role in the whole process - LOL

Looks so good.
Your brother is lucky to eat all this at home

Haha, I should tell him you said that @backpackingmonk

I'm gonna try this at home later tonight! Great post!

Awesome to see you shooting on Nikon! My first DSLR was the D5200 and the 50mm Prime with the f/1.8 was my favorite lens! Now of course it wasn't full frame so it always felt a little too close but still my favorite!

Well, I hear Santa might be making a special delivery to me. Stay tuned, if I am right, there will surely be a post. Thanks so much for the great commenting @spenceryan

As Swiss, I agree chocolate is the best desert. By they the way they say it is also good for health.

I think chocolate is a miracle drug, definitely good for health @gil2010

Chocolate cake, wow! Hot looking. Excellent photo shoot also. Great job, will be gorgeous merry Christmas. Thanks a lot

You're welcome. Thanks for reading @pariza!
