My First Attempt at Truffle Making

We have our ward Christmas Party tonight, and I signed up to bring a yummy treat. My sister, Natali sent me the recipe for these yummy truffles. I am not as gifted as she at treat making, but I decided to give them a whirl. I was too scared to try one until Jake got home from Volleyball to taste first. And, the verdict. . . They are really yummy!! I was a little disappointed the recipe didn't make more. Now, I have to make some more today, and they probably won't be as good the second time around. But, if anyone wants to give them a whirl, the recipe is on my comments in the "Twins" post. Merry Christmas Treat Making! And, thanks Nat, for the idea and recipe.


A close-up of my creations. I wish I knew how to make them prettier.

Jake's new advertising campaign. Do you think it will work?

Wow! You are brave. They look great. I'm sure they will be a hit.

They look great Emmers. You did wonderful job. A little hint. Since the truffles are so rich. Make them pretty small. I just use a table spoon (like the kind you eat cereal with) and barely fill the tip of it with the truffle. Then drop that into your sheet. I got about 30 out of the recipe when I did them small.

Another hint with the truffles. I had to refreeze the truffles half way through dipping them in the coating. I also then reheated the chocolate dipping. Just always use the lowest heat you possibly can and stir it constantly to keep it from curdling.

You are amazing. I am sorry I am not as good at the blogging as you. I love hearing from you and seeing what you are doing. I am actually crying right now because I miss you so much. But I will see you soon.
