Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, milk, cream, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cream of tartar and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and do not stir or remove from heat until the thermometer reads 236°F (about 15 minutes).
  • Remove the cream from heat and pour onto a cookie sheet on a cooling rack. Let it cool until it's just warm and easy to work with a spatula or wooden scraper.
  • Work the mixture until smooth and thick.
  • Roll into balls and let them set while you prepare the molds with the chocolate.
  • Use a candy brush to cover the sides of the molds with chocolate. Place in a cool place to harden.
  • Once the chocolate has hardened, press a cream ball into the center and cover with the remaining chocolate. Tap gently on the table to get rid of any air bubbles.
  • Place back into the fridge and let cool completely before removing. Be sure to store at room temperature.
  • Lastly, don't forget to caress your partner's face, give them a kiss, and share the chocolate!
