Tonight I attempted to make these fabulous chocolate cigar rolls. But it went horribly wrong. I am a fantastic cook by the way. But this was a new attempt at something and it turned out pretty messy.
The chocolate cake is sliced into long strips and rolled into melted chocolate. You have to roll the cake slices into the melted chocolate at least three times. But the cake pieces fell apart and the chocolate cooled too fast. Basically, you continue to roll the chocolate cake in melted chocolate until you have a smooth finish. And then you roll it into chocolate cocoa for a realistic cigar look. I wanted to add a unique touch by topping them with authentic cigar labels. See in the photos. This is one of my bags of cigar labels. I lost two thirds of my cake tonight. And an entire package of cooking chocolate was tossed away. It was fun. My son helped me. But it ended up in the trash.
I have another idea. So I am going to make another attempt at this in the near future. And I will eventually have those chocolate cigar rolls to show you! :)
Cheers
