What's up, sweet gang? I'm your girl Rochelle in the building coming to bring you another great video and in this video I'm going to show you how to create another trendy treat and yes, I'm going to show you how to create the

chocolate

pine cones. here I have some sliced ​​canned

pineapples

along with some other items and some Chef Masters candy colors to color my

chocolate

which I have some white and milk chocolate which is merkins some garnish some peanut oreo crumble and some strawberry crumble that you will also need. some parchment paper, paper towel, and a cookie sheet, so if you're new to my channel and ready to start this tutorial, let's watch the video.

I have a paper towel here that you'll need a few sheets of. of a cookie sheet and some parchment paper, so here I have my canned

pineapples

, I don't know why I want to say peaches but pineapples, you want to open your can and we're going to drain the juice from the can that you have. to make sure the juice is drained and then we're going to dry our pineapples okay so get yourself a bowl you can drain it in a bowl or drain it in the sink and then carefully take them out and just place them on top. your cookie sheet or baking sheet so you can lay them out better and have them ready to dry when you're ready to do this process, it's a lot easier to lay them out and then dry them like you see here, so I'm just going to take and I have a couple of leaves, so I'm going to take them, fold them and press them firmly making sure I don't break them and I'm just going to press firmly and get all the juice out of those pine cones now that they're dry and prepared.

Make sure they are completely dry guys, our next step they have to go in the freezer for a whole hour. Okay, now let's move on to our chocolate. Here I have my Merkins candy melts, white and milk chocolate, and here I have 16 ounces, so what are we going to do? What I'm going to do is melt this in intervals. I didn't speed up this video because I wanted you to see this process. I added two tablespoons of primordial crystals and did my first interval and mixed and I like to melt in a glass container, so what?

What I'm doing is just mixing until the parts of the primordial crystals have completely dissolved, so after the first interval I put it back in for another 30 seconds and during those 30 seconds I took it out, so this here what you see now it's from the second interval so I did two 30 second intervals with the primordial crystals in there so I'm just using the heat from the glass container to help melt some of the stubborn crystals or the primordial crystals and as you see here, most of my chocolate is getting soft and thin and fine and that's what I'm looking forward to for the final results and that's what you guys want to do too so as you can see here it's nice and smooth and thin Okay, so I do the same too. method and technique for white chocolate continue stirring the mixture and use primordial crystals.

If you don't have primordial crystals, you can use a little oil, which would be fine. As you see, after melting my 16 ounces, it melts to about 12 ounces. You will have about 12 ounces of chocolate. Now you want to take some of that chocolate and put some of it in a pastry bag. You just want to leave some chocolate for drizzling. Okay, so separate a little bit of your white and then separate. a little of your milk chocolate to drizzle your chocolate pine cones. Now what I'm doing here is I'm putting the rest of the chocolate in the bowl and here's my piping bag, all set and ready to go, but you want to separate the chocolate and put it in. in separate bowls so you have enough room to place the pine cones for dipping so here I have my milk chocolate and my white chocolate and I also added some sautéed caramel after you get the pine cones out of the freezer you want to put a fresh one in .

Put a sheet on your cookie sheet because there will be some condensation in the freezer, so make sure you clean the sheet, dry that sheet and put another parchment paper on it, then take some paper towel and just dry them again to make them . Make sure there is nothing wet in your pine cones, so now we are ready to start dipping our pine cones. Here, you see, I put an extra sheet, so I'll start with the white chocolate and strawberry crumble. I want to put it in your bowl and turn it over as you see the pineapple should be firm when dipping and it will solidify very quickly, so for those who are new to dipping chocolate and don't know the term solidify, that means the chocolate will is grabbing. it rises very quickly so to get the garnish on the chocolate before it freezes you need to make sure you dip it, place it and apply the garnish of your choice on the chocolate so look here I just

covered

the top too .

I'm going to put some of the crumble on the parchment paper if you want to cover the back of the pineapple as well, so just dip it back into the chocolate, flip it over and then place it directly on top of that topping and then decorate the top. your pineapple, so I'm just going to take my fork, pick it up and put it back on the tray so I can finish dipping a little bit more of my pineapples, so now I'm just going to do just white and dip the white, turning it over and putting it on my sheet, now moving on to milk chocolate, I chose to make a nice selection for you guys so you can see some different flavors and a different technique on me dipping these pine cones so they can be real. creative with what you want to dip your pine cones in milk chocolate or white chocolate you can color your chocolate which you'll see me do in the next few clips and here I have my drizzle bag and I'm just placing them. right on the surface and I'm spraying back and forth like you see in this video.

Now I'm going to take some salted caramel and drizzle it all over the top and you all give the go ahead to change the parchment. Paper you because let me tell you it takes a lot of work to create and edit this video okay so I just want you to know that I changed every sheet to make sure you can see you have a good look at how this all turns out and it's fun to create them, so you see, I'm using a long skewer, sometimes the fork gets stuck, so if you have some long skewers, long toothpicks, use them too, here I am. add some peanuts and just for your information, when you dip the chocolate and take it out, you may have chocolate in the center of the pine cones and you still want to get it whole, just pick up the pine cone and move it to the side in another position and then start decorating from there, which I'll show you in the next clip and here you have the pretty peanut chocolate pineapple peanut and here's the pineapple oreo crumble, now here you see I

covered

it completely.

I covered the pineapple so what I'm going to do is take my skewer and clean the center of this pineapple to make sure that the chocolate doesn't stick or the crumble doesn't stick to the center of this particular pineapple and here we are drizzling now It's time to color our chocolate like I said, this is a Chef Masters candy color, you need to make sure it's caramel color, this is the candy color, pink, okay, and this is for chocolate, okay, I repeat for color your melted chocolate or The chocolate uses a Chef Masters caramel color to create this particular color so you want to make sure you mix it well and here my pine cones got soft so I'm showing you how careful I am being when dipping this particular pine cone and I have some chocolate that needs to be spread, so you see me spread it and then I had a puddle, so I picked it up and put it somewhere else like you would do with strawberries so you don't get that puddle of chocolate, uh. at the bottom or around so I moved it so it wouldn't form a puddle around or in the center of the pineapple and there you have it guys all these beautiful pineapple oreo crumble I only have the strawberry white chocolate crunch . sautéed caramel, peanut and strawberry you guys can do whatever you want with these and have fun with them if you enjoyed this video please like this video don't forget to hit the notification bell to let them know that your girls queue is on. and I'm going to look for your life and leave a comment in the comments section below to let me know if you enjoyed this video and you know it's your robot girl that needs to go, but I'll see you all in the next video.
