Candies
Description
Minimal ingredients, and you'll have delicious homemade candies on the table in just a few minutes. You can vary the candies with any filling, such as dried fruits, nuts, or gummy candy. Actually, the shape, filling, and decoration are all up to you. I'll just show you the basic candy base and one festive version for the New Year's table in the shape of the upcoming year's symbol—the Pig. These "Snowy Piglets" candies are so easy that even a child can make them, so feel free to involve the kids in this fun activity!

Step 7
As an option, to bring more joy to children or even some adults, you can serve these candies not as balls, but in the shape of the symbol of the year—the Boar or Pig. Instead of shaping the chocolate mixture into balls, form little figures resembling piglets, trying to depict small piglets.

Step 8
Eyes, ears, and snouts can be imitated using any available cake decorations. I used a food-safe marker, decorative sugar beads, and wafer flowers, from which I'll make the snouts and ears.
