New subscriber to your channel. I have most of the hard stuff out of the way in my prepping repertoire now for the really good stuff. Love your creativity!

If you have a heating pad, put it on low and set the bowl of melted chocolate on the heating pad. It helps keep the chocolate liquidy while you are dipping your larger batches.

Your milky coffee bites are one of my most popular items!

I wonder if putting the cheesecake filling in a large ziplock bag and then cutting off the corner, would allow you to squeeze the proper amount in each mold cavity. You could pick up the tray the mold sits on and bang it on the counter a couple times to settle it and get out the air bubbles.

For the coffee ones that you did first. I wonder if you melted the Cool Whip before putting it in the trays if that would prevent it from floating up once you add the coffee. I'm thinking it's the fact that the Cool Whip is whipped that it must have quite a bit of air within it, causing it to float up.

I bet if you chilled your coffee mixture the whipped cream would stay stuck to the bottom.

On this one I used the 18262 address label (picked up at walmart) On the fruit one I used the 1 inch clear circle but I didn't like them that much because it created too much waste and jamming in my printer.

So if you were going to sell these, would you shrink wrap the box? Would you put a desiccant or oxygen absorber inside? I’m ordering a XL freeze dryer soon to aid in my retirement funds and these would be great to sell but I want to make sure they stay fresh if they aren’t sold right away.

Sorry, I have no knowledge or advise to give for selling as I have never sold any of my creations. I should imagine there are many hoops to jump through to sell to the public.

This is awesome I also love the strawberry video. The big question if I wanted to wells this what would be the storage recommendation and also how long will they last. Ty😊

I stored mine in the refrigerator for several weeks in a sealed container. Really depending on the quality of your dipping chocolate and how well you cover the centers with chocolate is a great factor. You shouldn't have any problems for a few weeks similar to normal chocolate candy. It can start to blossom in the fridge but mine didn't after several weeks

@deborahhall4013

Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I was trying to solve that because chocolate if I understand correctly doesn’t have any water so I would assume that the choc would not rehydrate them. Please tell me if a could be wrong. And what if they aren’t refrigerated?

@JohnInBibs

Жыл бұрын

The chocolate does not affect the filling. In cool weather and good quality/tempered chocolate you shouldn't have a problem. The only problem is the melting chocolate in warm conditions. In my opinion.

Never to much chocolate

Question ... Why do you keep in refrigerator ? If freeze dried shouldn't you be able to leave at room temp. I would like to give as gifts , but would need to be room temp.

According to HR you can. But I wouldn't for two reasons. 1 it will take longer to freeze dry and 2 the squares can be very delicate, if you remove after freeze drying the could crumble trying to get them out of the mold
