Has anyone attempted flavoring their chocolates with beer?


Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

i tried to infuse hops into cocoa butter. It worked pretty well but it gave my chocolate too much of a bitter hoppy finish. I want the hops up front and tail off into chocolate sweetness.

I was toying with the idea of putting a thin layer of hop cocoa butter into my mold first, let it set, then try to pour chocolate over it. That way, the hoppy cb would melt first and let me finish with the aforementioned chocolate sweetness. The problem is that I think it will look horrible.
