In the world a lot of people just can not imagine their life without sweets. Indeed, you rarely see a person who refuses a tasty candy or some other goodies.
Dream sweet tooth
So, for example, dragee chocolate is a favorite sweetness of many people. And this is not surprising, because these products are small in size and characterized by a rounded shape.

Knurling is made in special panning boilers by alternately soaking the entire body in syrup from sugar and molasses, as well as by applying powdered sugar.
A method of preparing a product such as a chocolate dragee
Such sweets, as a rule, can be prepared from nuts, in particular peanuts, raisins or pastille. Heating and cooling can help visually observe a phase change (transition from solid to liquid, and vice versa). The whole manufacturing process only at first seems simple, but in reality quite sophisticated technologies are used here. So, even with a slight temperature fluctuation, unwanted subsidence of dragees can occur, and if there is insufficient or increased humidity in the room, the glossy gloss can spoil as a result.
The procedure for the production of dragees takes place in special boilers, a housing is placed here, and then a chocolate mass. With constant stirring, the glaze is evenly distributed over the body surface. This rotation occurs until the desired chocolate thickness is achieved. After that, the dragees obtained are processed by gloss, due to which these sweets have such a beautiful shiny appearance.

Then, with the help of spoons, pour the already prepared melted chocolate onto the surface of the baking sheet and put the additional component (ingredient) on top of the mixture, place in the oven heated to 180 degrees and keep there for 10-15 minutes. This is to ensure that the ingredients (nuts, almonds or raisins) are evenly coated with chocolate.
At the last stage, it is necessary to place the dragee chocolate in the icing in a cool place (refrigerator) until it is completely cooled. Usually the time is about one hour. After that, with the help of a knife, it is necessary to get each nut or raisin thus obtained.
