Ingredients
  

Instructions 

  • Combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, butter, both of the extracts, and milk together in a large bowl. You will have to mix the ingredients together until you get a very sticky and thick batter-like product.
  • Wrap the filling in plastic wrap or cling wrap and place it inside the freezer for an hour. This will help the filling stiffen and make it easier to handle later.
  • There are two options you can do here. The first is that you can temper your dark chocolate, the second is that you can simply melt it over a double boiler.
    Tempering chocolate involves heating the chocolate to a certain temperature so that the fat crystals can melt, and cooling it while agitating to bring it back to a working temperature. Tempering chocolate is definitely a skill and you need a lot of patience.
    Alternatively, you can heat some water in a small. Place the chocolate inside a larger glass bowl and place it over the boiling water. This will allow you to gently melt the chocolate without seizing it. Make sure to constantly stir the chocolate using a non-stick silicone spatula.
  • Once the orange filling has rested, you can now cut and shape it. See our tips section for the best advice on shaping the filling. Once you have shaped it, lace it back into the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  • Your chocolate should be thick but definitely not runny. You can control the temperature by slightly heating it over the double boiler to make it thinner, and by agitating it off of the heat to help it cool and thicken faster.
    Dip the shaped filling pieces inside the thick melted chocolate and set them on a sheet of nonstick baking paper or a silicone mat. Allow the chocolate to harden on its own time.
