Frequently Asked Questions About Sugar-coated chocolate dragee
What is a sugar-coated chocolate dragee made of?
A sugar-coated chocolate dragee usually has a chocolate center surrounded by layers of hardened sugar coating. The center may be milk, dark, or another type of chocolate, and colors or finishing ingredients vary by product.
Does a sugar-coated chocolate dragee have real chocolate inside?
Usually, yes: the defining center is chocolate, while the outside is a crisp sugar shell. Recipes differ, so the chocolate type and exact ingredients depend on the product.
How is a sugar-coated chocolate dragee made?
A sugar-coated chocolate dragee is typically made by tumbling chocolate centers while adding sugar syrup in thin layers. The layers are dried and hardened, and some products receive a final coating for a glossy finish.
What is the difference between a sugar-coated chocolate dragee and a chocolate-coated candy?
A sugar-coated chocolate dragee has chocolate on the inside and a hardened sugar shell on the outside. A chocolate-coated candy generally has a different center covered with chocolate, so the order of the layers is reversed.
Why does the coating on a sugar-coated chocolate dragee crack?
The coating can crack if a sugar-coated chocolate dragee is dropped, squeezed, exposed to moisture, or moved through sudden temperature changes. Keep it sealed and handle it gently to protect the brittle shell.
How should you store a sugar-coated chocolate dragee?
Store a sugar-coated chocolate dragee in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Humidity can make the shell sticky, while heat can soften the chocolate center; follow the package instructions once opened.
Can you freeze a sugar-coated chocolate dragee?
Freezing is usually unnecessary and can make a sugar-coated chocolate dragee sweat when it warms up, leaving the shell sticky. Store it in a cool, dry place instead, away from sunlight and heat.
Why has a sugar-coated chocolate dragee turned white?
A white film on a sugar-coated chocolate dragee can come from chocolate fat rising to the surface after temperature changes, or sugar crystallizing after moisture exposure. It does not automatically mean spoilage, but discard it if it smells or tastes unusual.
Can dogs eat a sugar-coated chocolate dragee?
No. A sugar-coated chocolate dragee contains chocolate, which can be toxic to dogs, and its small hard pieces can also pose a choking hazard. Keep it out of reach and contact a veterinarian if your dog eats any.
Can people with diabetes eat a sugar-coated chocolate dragee?
A sugar-coated chocolate dragee is high in added sugar and can raise blood glucose. Whether it can fit into an individual diabetes plan depends on that person’s treatment and food choices, so ask a clinician or dietitian about portions.
