Delicate chocolates "Romashka" with praline filling from the manufacturer "Rot Front" are remembered from the first use and are very loved by both children and adults. So what do these delicious sweets consist of, what is their calorie content and the difference in price in different regions of the country? Let's figure it out together.

Composition

Composition of raw materials from which sweets are made:

• granulated sugar;
• chocolate icing (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter equivalent), cocoa powder, emulsifiers (E322, E476), identical to natural flavor - "Vanilla");
• sweetened condensed milk;
• molasses;
• milk fat substitute (vegetable);
• cognac;
• natural identical flavors: "Rum", "Vanilla".

All components in the list are in descending order. That is, sugar and chocolate icing are most of all in sweets, then cocoa and cocoa powder follow in weight reduction. The product has the least cognac and "Rum" and "Vanilla" flavors.

This is what Romashka sweets are made from. The composition does not contain chemicals, except for obscure emulsifiers E322 and E476.

In fact, the above components are lecithin (soybean - E476 or sunflower E322). They are emulsifiers and antioxidants. The substance is added to all coatings 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 reaction to new information (especially useful for schoolchildren). That is, the benefits of E322 and E476 are invaluable.

But there is one "but" here. The fact is that to reduce the cost of their product, the manufacturer can use genetically modified soybeans. To avoid such dangerous sweets, do not buy sweets from unverified outlets.

Contraindications

Oddly enough, "Chamomile" sweets also have contraindications for use. They should not be eaten by people with individual intolerance to milk protein - casein.

Price

What is the cost of "Romashka" sweets? The price depends on many factors. Among them - the margin of the trading network and a specific region of sale. But often the price does not exceed 340 rubles per kilogram of this sweet.

Homemade candy recipe

Homemade chocolates with pralines inside are just as good as store-bought ones. And you will know exactly what the composition of sweets is. However, the conditions and shelf life of the Chamomile candy will differ from the store version. They should only be kept in the refrigerator, preferably in a paper bag (but plastic is fine).

Homemade candies "Chamomile" have the following composition:

• 100g dark chocolate;
• 100g milk chocolate;
• 20g butter;
• 50g sugar;
• 100 g walnuts or Pecans.

Cooking:

1. Dry walnuts in a pan without oil. It doesn't need to be fried, just to exfoliate the dark skin. Then cool and sort through the nuts with your hands, removing the skin.
2. Chop the nuts a little with a knife and send them to the pan with sugar. Stir over low heat until sugar caramelizes. Cool the mass, and then grind into a pulp with a blender.
3. Melt both types of chocolate separately, but in a water bath. Add to each viewhalf of the butter indicated in the list of ingredients. Stir the chocolate mass until there is not a single lump left.
4. Add milk chocolate to the nut-sugar mass and mix well until smooth. It is permissible to beat with a blender or mixer.
5. Next, take ice molds of any shape, but small. It is better to choose curly. With a confectionery brush, gently smear each mold with dark chocolate - the layer should not be thick, but not translucent. Place in the refrigerator to set for half an hour.
6. Then put the praline nut filling into each mold, but not to the top. You should leave room for the bottom layer of chocolate. In the meantime, refrigerate again for the next half hour.
7. Remove the mold from the cold and cover with the remaining dark chocolate icing. Be sure to level this layer - you can draw it all over the form with a plastic ruler or a confectionery stack.
8. Remove the form in the cold. And in half an hour your home-made candies "Chamomile" are ready! Need to get them out of the mold.

Other cooking options

If chocolate melts well in a water bath, you can not add butter to it. So it will harden faster in the refrigerator.

Instead of nut praline, a filling is prepared with spiced chocolate, adding spices or spices to it to taste. For example, for lovers, you can take cayenne pepper, ground cloves or cinnamon.

Nuts fit any. Only their preprocessing differs. For example, almonds need to be scalded with boiling water toremove the harmful dark skin. It contains hydrocyanic acid. But pecans do not need any preparation at all. Their skin is not harmful and tastes sweet.

Form for homemade sweets fit any, but it is more convenient to take silicone. It is easy to pull out ready-made sweets from them.
