Do you mean chocolates from bon-bon type candy molds?

If so, I have made a peanut butter filling (chunky peanut butter, crushed graham crackers, butter, powdered sugar). It's sort of like a Reese's peanut butter cup.

I've also made cream cheese mint filling. Yummy, but needs refridgeration.

I've been meaning to try making cordial cherries, but haven't gotten around to it.

You can put in chocolate truffles. Make a ganache then cool. Roll into balls that will fit in the chocolate molds. Cover and Enjoy. Carmels are also a great filling. icon_biggrin.gif

The truffle filling we used at the hotel I worked at is below, just remember to let it cool before piping into moulds or you will end up with melted chocolate moulds.
1kg milk chocolate buttons
600g cream
100g glucose
150g kahlua or any other alcohol baileys, rum, bourcon etc.
Bring cream and glucose to boil add chocolate mix until chocolate melted stir in alcohol, cool enough so it wont melt shells but still soft enough to pipe.
Pipe into chocolate shells, cap with extra melted chocolate to seal in truffle.
Keep somewhere cool and dark no need to refrigerate.
