The most important thing first. It SNOWED in Austin last night- for the first time since 2004 I think (don't quote me on that). At aruond 11pm i heard a commotion outside. When I looked I saw that my neighbors were just excited for the snow that was flurrying down on our cars.
Gourmet Desserts class was last night. Is it a shock that my favorite item is the chocolate truffles? I now have hope of making these as gifts for some friends back home. I've attempted to make truffles one other time and it did not go well. The chocolate never set and was far too mushy. I know the secret now... use an oil that is solid at room temperature! Duh- why didn't I think of that? Of course when I made them over a year ago I used coconut milk (it's my secret ingredient in too many dishes).
What would YOU like in/on your chocolate truffles??

whoa...i haven't 'seen' you in like forEVER! How are you?? thanks for the compliment on my cake...it went over VERY well. : )
Im still waiting for the snow.
But on the chocolate truffles I like to keep them simple, but sometimes I roll them in coconut - especially yummy with white choc or fine grated chocolate (I put plain 1s in white choc etc) But the best thing is a little bit of rum. Christmas woudnt be christmas without truffles and peppermint creams
Those look YUM.
