These were a huge hit at my party! Everyone loved them!
Does the chocolate not burn? Seems risky.
This recipe is way too complicated! I just wanted something quick for dessert. 1 star.
Nah, it’s not too complicated! You just gotta practice a bit. Once you know the steps, it’ll be easy-peasy!
I get it, this recipe does have a lot of steps! But trust me, the end result is worth it. Maybe try to break it down into smaller chunks?
Super easy to make and soooo delicious! I’m making them again for my family this weekend!
I think lychees are too weird. Chocolate should stick to strawberries.
These are amazing! I never thought chocolate and lychee would go so well together. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
Chocolate and lychee? Seems odd… Are you sure it works? I thought lychees were for fruit salads only.
I totally agree! These are the best treats ever! I can’t believe I waited so long to try this combo. Thank you for sharing!
Mmmm yummyy! Can i use other fruit?
Tried this for a party and everyone loved them! Looked impressive too. I’m gonna make them again for sure. 5 stars!
Nice treat! but I think I put too much chocolate in and it oozed everywhere. Next time I’ll follow the measurements better. 4 stars.
I don’t get how you can mess up chocolate, lol. You got it right in the end; just try not to drown it next time!
Glad you enjoyed them! Too much chocolate just means more deliciousness, right? 😋 Next time, I promise it’ll be even better!
I had a really hard time folding these, my circles came out wonky. But still tasty.
They came out poofy and golden. More please! 🍫🍑
I didn’t have lychees, so I used peaches instead. They turned out pretty good but not as special as I thought they’d be. 3 stars.
Does it really need to be a double boiler? Can’t you just microwave it? I mean, it’s chocolate after all. 2 stars.
Who even has time for double boilers?! I just zap it, and it turns out fine. 1 star for being too complicated.
I don’t think using a microwave is a good idea. Double boiler helps control the heat better, especially for chocolate. Try it the right way! 5 stars.
