1. Preparing the Chocolate
While your candies are cooling, prepare the coatings by melting both types of chocolate: dark and white. Use a double boiler to gently melt each chocolate in separate bowls, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to each melted chocolate to achieve a smooth and glossy consistency. This step makes the coating more fluid and easier to work with.
2. Coating the Candies
Once the chocolate has melted and cooled slightly, dip each candy into the melted chocolate, making sure it is well coated. You can use a fork to handle the candies without damaging them. Then place them back on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tip: For a more festive look, you can sprinkle the candies with a little chopped hazelnut before they harden.
3. Final Chilling
Place the coated candies in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes, until the chocolate has hardened completely.
Storage and Serving
Your sugar-free Christmas candies are now ready to enjoy! Once the chocolate has set, you can serve them chilled for optimal texture and flavor. Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to one week.
Tip: For a different twist, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon or Christmas spices to the mixture before shaping the balls for an even more festive touch.
