So this year i made Christmas candy. One thing i made new, this year was truffles. I made coconut cream w dark chocolate and mint chocolate cream with white chocolate. This is a pic of the filling setting in the fridge.
I got the recipe from http://www.kraft.com/ and i made a little modification to it. There are many recipes for truffles to choose f
rom so check them out if you want.
rom so check them out if you want. And than the finish product. Everytime i make something its always a learning experience, i learn what not to do and what i should have done to improve to make it even better. Melting in the microwave is so much easier and less likely to over heat chocolate like on the stove.
I was told they were quite a hit(mostly the coconut ones). can't wait to try out a different flavor.
Coconut truffles

Mouth is watering!!! I just don't do stuff like that Jen, so great job and kuddos to you!
These sound good. Here is a tip about the white chocolate -- either use Lindt white chocolate bars (they sell them at Walmart and Albertson's in the candy aisle, at least they do here) or Guittard white chocolate chips (found at Winco). Other brands of white chocolate, like Baker's, are too sweet and/or grainy, but these ones are just right and smooth. Lindt is a little more expensive, but I think that it is worth it. Guittard is about the same price as other brands.
ya it was a little grainy but oh well. But once i mixed in other stuff cream cheese and sugar it was okay but idea thanks.
