0:20

0:22
basket but before I can get started I
0:25
need to get some fresh chocolate from my
0:27
friend Terry at Al Sweet Shop he always
0:30
has just what I need hey Terry hey Paul
0:34
how are you I'm fine how you doing
0:36
darling Oh I'm doing good today get me
0:37
ready we're getting you ready with some
0:39
tempered milk chocolate it just looks
0:42
fabulous well I know how much you like
0:44
milk chocolate over dark and as I was
0:47
coming through I found this Lonesome
0:49
little pretzel well you know there's
0:51
only one thing to do with that can I can
0:53
by all means feel for
0:55
it oh my gracious we've been making uh
1:00
some molded bars for
1:02
you it's
1:04
orgasmic it's fabulous now this is this
1:07
is the best milk chocolate you can get
1:08
it's loaded with cocoa butter it's
1:11
smooth
1:12
creamy of course I wouldn't expect you
1:14
to tell me anything different it's
1:16
fabulous if you had a straw it' work out
1:18
real well why Terry is your chocolate so
1:21
good well I can't take the credit for
1:23
why my chocolate is so good I'm a third
1:26
generation my wife's grandfather started
1:28
in 1922
1:30
and the only thing I'll take credit for
1:31
is I'm smart enough to know that if it's
1:33
not broken don't fix it it's the same
1:35
recipes for the last 80 years in any
1:38
special way that process that you have
1:40
for melting this a simple matter of
1:43
heating to destroy the cocoa butter and
1:45
sugar crystals and then we slowly cool
1:48
it down M and reheat it very gently
1:52
what's the most important thing to look
1:53
for go to when you're picking out your
1:55
chocolate well you can't go wrong by
1:57
going to a quality chocolate shop um
2:01
check the age of the chocolate chocolate
2:02
has a pretty good shelf life but it does
2:04
dry out and it's more absorbent to odor
2:07
than bacon soda the biggest mistake
2:09
people make is putting chocolate in the
2:11
refrigerator and two days later they say
2:13
what is wrong with this chocolate kind
2:15
of gets a white bring it back to me and
2:17
first question I asked is where did you
2:18
store it and they said well right next
2:19
to the broccoli and chili that I had
2:21
last and that's just what it tastes like
2:23
so now these will take about 8 minutes
2:26
so if we follow it down uh uh we should
2:29
have a pretty good finished product and
2:31
this we should see here releasing from
2:34
the mold uhhuh I see it and they pop out
2:37
perfect and these should have if if they
2:40
set up correctly a snap perfect and
2:43
that's tempered chocolate would you like
2:44
to you know you know I
2:47
would if it was if it's half as good
2:50
hard as it was melted back there well
2:54
this allows your pette to really work it
2:56
in your mouth and really get a good
2:58
taste of it so wonderful
