NUTELLA FILLED MARBLE CHOCOLATES

Sabeena Bubber • March 31, 2015

The girls love to watch a ton of DIY shows and convinced me it would be fun to make chocolates on a rainy afternoon over spring break. Make sure when you’re serving this that no one has any peanut allergies.


Ingredients:
1 silicone chocolate mould
8 oz pure sweet chocolate
1/2 oz pure white chocolate.
1/4 cup Nutella (maybe less)



Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate first. Transfer to a small cool dish. Swipe your finger through the white chocolate and then swipe through each of the moulds creating a white stripe in the bottom of each mould. Put in the fridge to cool.


Heat 6 oz of the pure sweet chocolate in a double boiler until melted through.

Don’t cool. Pour into the mould until all the cups are full. Use a straight cake spatula to level the chocolate and move excess chocolate into the moulds that need it. Our chocolate mould holds 15 chocolates.

Let it chill in the fridge for 2 minutes to set a little. (If you want a thicker shell, keep it in longer).  Remove from fridge and turn upside down over a bowl in order to let the excess chocolate come out. There should just be the chocolate line along the moulds. Use the spatula to clean the top as we will need this clear for the last step to work. Tap the mould to remove any air bubbles in the chocolate.

Put in the fridge and let cool for 30 minutes.


In a ziplock bag, spoon in the Nutella and move it towards a corner. Snip a small hole in the bag as this is how we will pipe the Nutella as the filling.


Once you take the chocolate out of the fridge then pipe the Nutella in the moulds. Remember not to fill the Nutella to the top. We will need room for the layer of chocolate that will seal the chocolate


We used white chocolate for the bottom layer here as we had extra white. Melt it and run a layer over the cooled layer of chocolate. Use the spatula to even out and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.

How Property Type and Condition Influence Mortgage Financing

By Sabeena Bubber • October 21, 2026
Why the Property Matters When You’re Qualifying for a Mortgage When qualifying for a mortgage, lenders typically look at four core areas: Income Credit Down payment or equity The property itself Most buyers focus heavily on income, credit, and savings—and for good reason. But even if those boxes are checked, the property can still determine whether a mortgage is approved. Why Lenders Care About the Property From a lender’s perspective, the property is the collateral for the mortgage. In the unlikely event of default, they need to know the home can be sold quickly and at fair market value to recover their funds. Because of this, lenders are careful about the condition, value, and marketability of any property they finance. Homes that are in poor repair, unconventional, or overpriced can raise red flags—even when the borrower is well qualified. Appraisals Are Always Part of the Process Every mortgage requires an appraisal to confirm value. Insured mortgages (through CMHC, Sagen, or Canada Guaranty) often use an automated valuation model completed online. Conventional mortgages typically require a full, on-site appraisal by a certified appraiser. This appraisal is not optional and happens after an offer is accepted—not at the pre-approval stage. Why Pre-Approvals Aren’t a Guarantee A pre-approval is a great first step, but it only assesses you, not the property. Once you’ve made an offer, the lender must approve the specific home you’re buying. Understanding this upfront helps avoid surprises and confusion later in the process. The Risk of Buying Without a Financing Condition In competitive markets, buyers sometimes remove financing conditions to strengthen their offer. However, this comes with risk. If the appraisal comes back low—or the lender is concerned about the property’s condition—you could be denied financing after the offer is firm. In that scenario, your deposit may be at risk. Buying a Home That Needs Work If you’re considering a property that isn’t in perfect condition, there are solutions. A purchase plus improvements program allows you to buy a home and include renovation costs in your mortgage. The process is structured and requires planning, but it can be an excellent way to turn a fixer-upper into a great long-term investment. Final Thoughts Mortgage approval isn’t based solely on your finances—the property matters just as much. Knowing this ahead of time helps you make smarter offers, reduce risk, and plan more effectively.
