{Chocolate Lollipops} – Acadele de ciocolata
From all the fun things you can do with chocolate, lollipops have a very special place in my heart. It’s no particular reason though, probably just the fact that they are so easy to make and yet so fun and cute. Just look at them, how can you not love that?! All those colors, those textures, those fun designs – the kids love these… and grown-ups alike!
Let’s recap the toppings you can use: pistachio, almonds, nuts, freeze dried raspberries, salt flakes, honeycomb, caramelized nuts, dried fruits. Need I go on?! So many options, so little time! The sky is the limit, literally!
Read this post for a short explanation on chocolate tempering and how to easily do it at home. And then start practicing! I think that’s the key to mastering pretty much anything in the pastry world – practice, practice, practice! When you love what you do however, these kind of things are never a chore. Mind you, chocolate is amazing, working with it can never be a chore!

Dintre toate lucrurile pe care le poti face cu ciocolata, acadelele sunt poate printre cele mai distractive! Si nu doar pentru copii, ci si pentru adulti deopotriva! Te simti din nou copil avand la dispozitie o intreaga gama de toppinguri, reusind astfel sa-ti creezi ciocolata viselor. De la sare de mare ori sare afumata la fructe uscate, nuci, alune, diverse condimente, zahar caramelizat, flori uscate, toate fac parte din larga gama de posibile adaugiri pentru a imbunatati nu doar gustul ci si textura acadelelor.
Reteta de azi abia poate fi numita o reteta. E chiar simplu sa faci aceste acadele. Ai nevoie de ciocolata, topita si temperata, bete pentru cake-pops sau frigarui si toppingul preferat. Turnati ciocolata intr-un pos sau con de hartie. Lipiti un bat de cake-pops pe o foaie de hartie de copt folosind o picatura de ciocolata apoi trasati un model dantelat pe hartia de copt. Presarati imediat deasupra toppingul preferat si lasati ciocolata sa cristalizeze. Asta e tot, v-am zis ca e simplu, nu-i asa?!?!
These look amazing Olguta I absolutely love them.
