WELCOME TO TINE PREFERS CHOCOLATE!

This is where your passion for chocolate is transformed into beautiful bonbons known for their great taste, perfect texture, and long shelf life.

My name is Tine, and my mission is to guide you in creating chocolate bonbons that are not only visually impressive but also bursting with flavour and stay fresh for several weeks.

I understand your desire for a straightforward and enjoyable chocolate-making experience, and I am here to provide practical tips that ensure outstanding results without the usual complications or mess.

You probably wish to master all aspects of chocolate making – from tempering and colouring to creating fillings and moulding. Imagine creating chocolate bonbons that not only taste divine but also offer unique flavour combinations and are elegantly decorated, competing with chocolates from professional chocolatiers – all from your own kitchen. This is entirely possible right here at Tine Prefers Chocolate.

From passion to popular resources: Helping home-based chocolate makers succeed
Tine Prefers Chocolate saw the light of day in 2021 as a passion project on Instagram, where I shared photos of my chocolate bonbons. If you are active on Instagram, you might already know me from @tine.prefers.chocolate. With my decade-long experience with chocolate bonbons, it soon became clear that both the Danish and international markets lacked a hands-on, practical guide for making chocolate bonbons. This realization drove me to publish the e-book CHOCOLATE BONBONS - a practical guide in 2022. The e-book, warmly received globally, offers clear, practical solutions to common chocolate-making challenges and has become a valuable resource for chocolate enthusiasts worldwide.

All my e-books are created with an uncompromising focus on quality, reflected in both the detailed descriptions and the well-tested methods that ensure high-standard results. My e-books are affordably priced to make my knowledge accessible to anyone eager to master the art of chocolate bonbon making with easy-to-follow, step by step instructions. One of the main things that sets my e-books apart is a dedication to balanced recipes that are carefully tested to ensure that each chocolate not only tastes fantastic and has the perfect texture but also has a long shelf life.

I have the honour of collaborating with some of the leading names in the industry, including Callebaut Nordic, Roxy & Rich, and Implast Chocolate Moulds.

As a blogger for Callebaut Nordic, I receive several packages throughout the year containing selected Belgian chocolate, decorations, and creative tools – along with an assignment based on a specific theme, such as a season, a flavour profile, or a visual concept. My role is to interpret the assignment and transform it into something inspiring – whether it is a chocolate bonbon, a bar, a cake, or a plated dessert. It is a collaboration built on shared values: skilled craftsmanship, quality, and creativity.

As the first and only ambassador specialising in chocolate for Roxy & Rich – the Canadian brand known for their high-quality food colours, including cocoa butter colours – I create video tutorials that demonstrate how their colours can be used in both simple and more advanced designs. The focus is always on inspiring beautiful results. The partnership is built on mutual respect and a shared desire to help chocolate makers create elegant, professional-looking designs.

I also work closely with Implast Chocolate Moulds – a company known for their wide range of durable and elegant moulds. I am grateful for the opportunity to test their latest designs and showcase them in my chocolate creations. Their moulds have been a part of my work for many years, and I am proud to collaborate with a brand that consistently delivers quality and innovation.

On a personal note
I live in a cosy suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark, with my husband, Jannik, and our two teenage sons, Joel and William. While my weekdays are spent navigating the complexities of professional liability cases as an attorney-at-law, my weekends are often reserved for indulging in my other passion – creating exquisite chocolate masterpieces.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far. I hope what you have read will inspire you in your own chocolate adventures.

I hope you will have loads of fun in your chocolate kitchen!
