Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 8 ounces semi sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
Filling
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce (homemade, see recipe notes)
Instructions
- Make Pumpkin Coconut Caramel Sauce: Prepare the pumpkin coconut caramel sauce in advance as it requires several hours to make and cool, ideally done the day before.
- Melt Chocolate: In a small saucepan over low heat, slowly melt the chopped chocolate until smooth and fully melted, then remove from heat.
- Coat Molds: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each chocolate mold. Using a small paintbrush or spoon, coat the inner walls of the mold completely with chocolate. Place the molds in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or until the chocolate has set firmly.
- Fill with Caramel: Once the chocolate shells are set, fill each mold with the cooled pumpkin caramel filling, leaving enough space at the top to seal with more chocolate. Ensure the caramel has cooled if made the same day before filling.
- Seal Chocolates: Reheat any remaining melted chocolate and pour over each mold to cover the caramel filling completely.
- Remove Air Bubbles and Set: Gently tap the molds on the countertop to release any air bubbles and then refrigerate until fully set.
- Store and Serve: Store finished chocolates in the refrigerator and enjoy within 10 days for best freshness and flavor.
