The only thing better than making chocolates is sharing them with awesome people!

Since the roughly 80 to 90 chocolates I made the other day would most certainly ruin any longterm goals of fitting my clothes, I decided to give some to my friends. I will be seeing quite a few of them at my friends' private vegan café (Café Mousebear), I made spent a very relaxed and quiet Sunday morning crafting boxes for the chocolates.

I can't wait to go eat all the awesome cakes and pies and cupcakes that my friends have prepared for their guests. Who can say no to a pumpkin cupcake with a cinnamon/walnut topping? Or homemade thyme raspberry lemonade? 

Delicious, Creamy, Caramel/Nougat Chocolates

One of my favorite chocolates are called Toffifee. They are made of a caramel cup filled with a whole hazelnut and nougat and are topped with a bit of dark chocolate. The best. But they are full of milk products such as skim milk powder, concentrated butter, whey, lactose... Having found a recipe on another blog, I decided to accept the challenge of making my own. Based on the outcome of my own experiment, I made some changes to the recipe.

I am fairly happy with the results - the taste is definitely spot on! But I wish the caramel had gotten a little harder. This is the main reason I am making adjustments to the recipe.

I ended up with ca. 85 chocolates!
