Having a Truffle-Good Time

Good Afternoon all you lovely people and thank you for stopping by for today's post. 

As you may have guessed by the picture, we have a little something we are working on, partly from our love of cooking and partly because, well, who doesn't love truffles.

Today we made some truffles and I am sharing the recipe with you lovely people, along with seeing what sort of interest there is for these if we were to sell them. O and what do you think of the name? Catchy huh?

Ingredients:

300ml double cream
30g unsalted butter
300g chocolate (your choice of flavour)

Method:

Heat together the cream and butter over a pan of simmering water, being careful to not let the water dry or touch the bottom of the pan.
Once the cream and butter are combined add in the chocolate either chunked or grated.
Add in any flavouring e.g. vanilla, coffee, toffee, orange, mint, etc.
Pour over cream and stir gently until chocolate is melted - to melt anything unmelted, simply keep the bowl above the heat until fully combined.
1-3 hours later in a cool fridge and the truffles can be scooped to roll and then dusted with many toppings or dipped in chocolate.

Feel free to share your creations and do let me know what you think of our snack shop idea.

Love and light to you all :)

Can't Cook Won't Cook

Good Afternoon everyone,

Apologies for the absence, things have been rather busy here. I have now undertaken a new venture for the purpose of this blog, with the help of the other one and Mave involving my favourite thing, FOOD.

They will each create and cook an item of food, and I shall be judging said food, what could be better. Of course they also wanted to judge each other's, and there may have been a hint of bribery involved, all in good fun of course.

This week was all about the biscuits, chocolate covered to be precise.

First up we have Mave's:

I gave these a score of 4 out of 5. They were perfectly crisp, melt in the mouth and buttery with the right balance of chocolate. But they were messy and not very well presented, need neatening up a bit. The decorative sweets also were too hard and weren't really needed.

The other one also gave a score of 4 out of 5 and said they were a tad messy but tasted buttery. He also did not like the sweets on top.

Next up we have The Other One's:

For this one, as much as I hate to admit it, I gave a score of 5 out of 5. They were perfectly soft and crumbly with a delicate buttery taste and good balance of chocolate. Although me being a chocoholic would happily have had them smothered in it. They could, however, be much better presented and far neater.

Mave said that for the texture she would give 4 out of 5, with 5 out of 5 for taste and 4 out of 5 for the topping, commenting that they were nice and crumbly.
