Truffles Chocolate Ones, not the expensive ones pigs find!








so its come to my understanding that I have a insanely large sweet tooth! What better way to satisfy that craving on a rainy Monday morning after watching many delicous meals being made ever so well on Food Network, I decided to hop into my kitchen stadium and get cracking. The frozen sweets that lay dormant in my freezer werent enough tonight so I decided to hope into my baking book and pull out a simple but classic favourite, The Chocolate Truffle, always a winner everytime i've done a dinner party, simple but I make it look complex, they are time consuming but worth it!
here is the procedure how to make pretty damn good truffles!
STEP 1. chop up your chocolate 250 grams worth





STEP 2. place in bowl and set a side




STEP 3. ADD 1/2 CUP CREAM 1/2 TSP VANILLA TO ANOTHER BOWL




STEP 4 PLACE OVER VERY LOW HEAT AND BRING TO JUST BARELY A SIMMER!



STEP 5. PLACE CREAM AND VANILLA MIXTURE OVER CHOCOLATE AND LET SIT FOR 30 SECONDS THEN STIR TILL SMOOTH


STEP 5. gradually add 1tbsp butter when stirring smooth.


after smooth place in shallow baking dish and place in fridge and allow to harden. after chocolate has hardened roll use tablespoon or teaspoon to create lil choclate balls of goodness. I strongly suggest using gloves when rolling out, your hands will get chocolately.
Enjoy
