The candies we made were Rochers, Gianduja, Orange Almond Clusters, Almond Joys, Peanut Butter Cups, Hazelnut Marzipan Balls, and the soft nougat layer for the next weeks Mozartkuglen.

Many of these candies have mainstream counterparts of the same name that are far from what we made such as the Rochers, Gianduja, and the clusters. As a result these candies where very difficult to research. While on the other hand the peanut butter cup, Almond Joys, and Hazelnut Marzipan Balls have very distinct characteristics. Because these candies are so recognizable it was important that we get them right.

Unfortunately, we had a few mishaps especially with the peanut butter cup. We were able to get the right flavor and texture, but had an issue with bloomed chocolate. Overall our flavors where correct, but the execution was off.
