I've been trying to learn a little about chocolate, and playing around
with silly little chocolate candies. Anyway, I found out they are
having a Chocolatefest in town on Saturday, with chocolate vendors and
local restaurants and candy shops and bakeries with lots of samples.
Flat rate at the door and all you can stuff in your mouth.

And today I found out they are having a competition so I'm going to
make some coated chocolate orange truffles. I stirred up the centers
tonight and they are chilling in the fridge right now. The wife and
friends at work think they are good, but I don't really expect to win
anything. I use Nestle's semisweet chocolate as the major ingredient
in the centers, and everyone that really knows chocolate laughs (or
gasps in horror) at the idea of using lowly Nestle's chocolate chips
for making truffles.

Wish me luck!
