This may be a silly question, but what is the difference between the "filling" and the "icing"? They both look like a two to one ratio of chocolate to cream - so why not make just one big batch and divide it if I want to flavor the "filling" differently? Not silly at all, Lina - You can certainly just make one big batch and leave some out for flavoring - or separate it into favored filling vs. icing. I liked having a precise amount to use for filling, and not having to weigh out and remove part for the icing... plus, I was afraid the icing would stiffen up while I was fooling around with the filling, and wouldn't pour as nicely. Lots of little reasons - nothing very important! :) PJH
