Passover just gets better and better when you show up with homemade chocolate candies. A delicious treat and so simple to make you can vary this recipe with flavored fillings by using different extracts. Use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!

most vanilla beans are dry cured and not soaked in alcohol and do not require special certification ( that is why we love them!)
you can add any extracts or liqueurs that strike your fancy to flavor the filling.
enjoy!
These sound great. An alternate flavor idea could be to use mint extract in the filling and create a peppermint patty. Any idea where to find Kosher for Passover vanilla beans? They are often soaked in alcohol, so I would think they would need special Passover certification.
