Question by hereceivedacall: Anyone have the best chocolate candy recipe in the world that can be made without a candy thermometer?

Best answer:

Answer by peanutflutter
Truffles…the easiest and most delicious chocolate candy:

Bring 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to a simmer. Pour it over a pound of chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Cover the mixture and let it cool at room temp. for a few hours (or in the fridge for about 30 min). When the mixture stiffens, scoop out bite-size pieces with a spoon or mini ice cream scoop and roll them into balls. Then roll the balls in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or confectioner’s sugar.

This is the basic recipe, but you can flavor it a lot of ways by adding flavors to the hot cream (vanilla, grand marnier, liquors, almond extract, etc.).

Answer by Tina N
depends on what you want to know the temperature of and what kind of thermometer you have. If you have the traditional type and want to know what the water temp is, you need to put the thermometer inside the tank, in the water, away from the heater. If it’s one of the strip kind it should go on the outside of the tank and will give the temp of the glass based on the water temp.

(the ones with the wire braided cords)

It’s not exactly what I have, but I like the wired probe that you can use in your oven or on the grill. When the probe isn’t plugged in, it doubles as a timer. Mine has preset temps for any kind of meat cuts and can also temp your fridge to make sure it’s not too warm or too cold.
