Molded chocolate decorations can add a beautiful, professional touch to your holiday dessert offerings, but making them incorrectly can be frustrating and messy. In this video, famed chocolatier Jacques Torres (of Jacques Torres Chocolates) demonstrates how to make a large, hollow chocolate Santa. To follow his instructions, you'll need a 3-D chocolate mold, and you'll need to be familiar with the process of tempering chocolate. Even if you're not planning on making chocolates for this holiday, his basic advice is good for any molded chocolate project, and it's always fascinating to get advice from a professional. Plus, he ends his tutorial with an adorable Merci!
