Anyway, I used her truffle recipe about 12 yrs ago and they did not turn out. I have not made them since then, and I make candy several times a year. I may try it again. Becca |

I've made chocolate truffles in the past (no booze), but it wasn't a recipe I found in rfc. They weren't hard to make and they were *really* good. -- Never trust a dog to watch your food. |

THat sounds fantastic and easy. Now I want to do it. Can they be made with liqeur I wonder? And what would be the change in proportions? -- Currently reading: The Chalice by Phil Rickman and The Walking Dead vol 3 |

I don't see anything mentioned in the recipe. Thanks! Compound coating. I've sampled a variety, and now I buy my covering chocolate from Chocoley.com. I use their Bada Bing Bada Boom dipping and enrobing formula, the dark chocolate: http://www.chocoley.com/badabingbada...ingformula.htm I cover other things in their milk chocolate enrobing chocolate, in fact I need to place an order as soon as I figure out how much more I need. Chocoley.com's is really the best compound coating I've found. No tempering required, it's very forgiving and works very nicely. And tastes really good for compound coating! John Kuthe... |

The priceyest too! And while nothing except pure roasted cocoa nibs ground into chocolate is really chocolate, compound coating are made with real chocolate with different oils added to make them easier to handle and set up again after being heated to melt without having to go through the tempering process you'd have to go through with pure chocolate (sugar added or not!)

I know what coating is, John. Personally, I use tempering machines these days. There's a big difference between cocoa suspended in vegetable oil and couverture. |
