I'm so glad you participated in the challenge and that you got through the tempering, middle of summer and all!<br />Thanks for taking part in the challenge :)MandyMhttp://www.mandymortimer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942058980138707983.post-42292995246679563122011-08-28T13:15:19.135-04:002011-08-28T13:15:19.135-04:00Well, I think your chocolates look amazing - so pr...Well, I think your chocolates look amazing - so professional - I would pay very good money for those. I am amazed you couldn't get the right temperatures as it looks as though you did it all perfectly.<br />Well, I bought a tempering thermometer but then totally wimped out. I will have to do it as some point as otherwise the thermometer will be a complete waste but I just didn't feel I could spare the time for all the faffing this month. So impressed with you efforts!<br />LouPlease Do Not Feed The Animals.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18253995950103215275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942058980138707983.post-29054078476518233312011-08-28T05:28:20.515-04:002011-08-28T05:28:20.515-04:00Your bonbons look amazing Valerie.

Mine didn't set well until the heat wave subsided, but I still think both recipes need more pectin. As for your chocolates..are you kidding? That's a perfect temper!! They are chocolatier perfect! Yep..messy, indeed, hence why this is something I'd probably only do onec a year and NOT in the summer! LOL So glad you changd your mind and took part in our challenge!!Lisahttp://lisamichele.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
