Chocolate Delites

Submitted by Chef Buggsy

"These Chocolate bites are really tasty. During the summer we like to freeze them and eat them ice cold. They definite do not last long though. Note: time does not include the 20 minute chilling period."

I'm so glad I tried this recipe! Easy to make candies that look adorable. I did half in gold candy papers (macadamia nuts) & the other half in red papers with the cherries. I don't have a double boiler so I just used the microwave to melt the chocolate. I ended up with almost 30 candies to use up all the chocolate & whipped cream. I also like them best in the freezer. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Chef Buggsy! This special baby was adopted from the PAC Spring 2008 orphanage.
