Delicate chamomile chocolates filled with pralines from the manufacturer Rot Front are remembered from the first use and are very loved by both children and adults. So what do these tasty sweets consist of, what is their calorie content and price difference in different regions of the country? Let's figure it out together.
Structure
The composition of the raw materials from which the candies are made:
- granulated sugar;
- chocolate glaze (sugar, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter equivalent), cocoa powder, emulsifiers (E322, E476), identical to natural flavoring - “Vanilla”);
- condensed milk with sugar;
- syrup;
- milk fat substitute (vegetable);
- cognac;
- flavorings identical to natural: "Rum", "Vanilla".
All components in the list are in descending order. That is, most of all in sugar candies and chocolate icing, then cocoa and cocoa powder should be used to reduce the weight. Least of all in the product of cognac and flavorings “Rum” and “Vanilla”.
That's what Chamomile candy is made from. The composition does not contain chemicals, except for incomprehensible emulsifiers E322 and E476.
In fact, the above components are lecithin (soy - E476 or sunflower E322). They relate to emulsifiers and antioxidants. The substance is added to all icings for desserts and confectionery in the food industry to prevent the aging of chocolate.
By the way, the same substance (lecithin) is added to vitamins for children to improve memory and the severity of the reaction of the receipt of new information (especially useful for schoolchildren). That is, the benefits of E322 and E476 are invaluable.
But there is one but. The fact is that to reduce the cost of their product, the manufacturer can use genetically modified soy. To avoid such dangerous sweets, do not buy sweets at unverified points of sale.
Contraindications
Oddly enough, chamomile sweets also have contraindications. They can not be eaten by people with individual intolerance to milk protein - casein.

Homemade Candy Recipe
Homemade chocolates with pralines inside are no worse than purchased ones. And you will definitely know what the composition of sweets is. However, the conditions and shelf life of the Chamomile candy will vary with the store option. They should be kept only in the refrigerator, preferably in a paper bag (but also in a plastic bag).
Homemade chamomile sweets have the following composition:
- 100 g of dark chocolate;
- 100 g of milk chocolate;
- 20 g butter;
- 50 g of sugar;
- 100 g of walnuts or Pecan.
Cooking:
- Dry the walnuts in a pan without oil. It is not necessary to fry, only that the dark skin is exfoliated. Then cool and pick nuts with your hands, removing the skin.
- Chop the nuts a little with a knife and send to the pan with sugar. Stir slowly until caramelized. Cool the mass, and then grind into the pulp with a blender.
- Melt both types of chocolate separately , but in a water bath. Add half of the butter specified in the list of ingredients to each type. Stir the chocolate mass until there is not a single lump left.
- Add milk chocolate to the nut-sugar mass and mix well until smooth. It is permissible to beat with a blender or mixer.
- Next, take molds for ice of any shape, but small. It’s better to choose curly ones. With a pastry brush, gently brush each mold with dark chocolate - the layer should not be thick, but not shine through. Refrigerate for half an hour.
- Then put praline nut filling in each tin, but not to the top. Leave room for the bottom layer of chocolate. In the meantime, put it back in the refrigerator for the next half hour.
- Remove the mold from the cold and cover with the remaining dark chocolate glaze. Be sure to level this layer - you can draw it all over with a plastic ruler or pastry stack.
- Put the mold back in the cold again. And in half an hour your homemade chamomile sweets are ready! You need to get them out of shape.
Other cooking options
If chocolate is well heated in a water bath, you can not add butter to it. So it will freeze faster in the refrigerator.
Instead of walnut pralines, they prepare a filling with spicy chocolate, adding spices or spices to taste. For example, for lovers you can take cayenne pepper, ground cloves or cinnamon.
Any nuts are suitable. Only their preliminary processing is different. For example, almonds need to be scalded with boiling water to remove harmful dark skin. It contains hydrocyanic acid. But pecans do not need preparation at all. Their skin is not harmful and sweet in taste.
Forms for home sweets will suit any, but it is more convenient to take silicone ones. Ready sweets are easy to pull out of them.
