Alright, delicious truffles. (the zucchini bread was moved to next week) They are also a HUGE
PAIN IN THE ASS. My Gramma is reading this, so I have to clean up the language a bit. Pshaw. Anyways, the recipe sounds nice and simple, quick and clean. WRONG. 7:34pm. Alright, the ingredients are all together (extra of course, just in case) on the table, the good stuff too. We followed the recipe and let the ganache sit for an hour, expecting perfect thick roll-able truffle-y bits. Um. No. We had to add about 1 cup more chocolate to the recipe just to make it malleable. Great. That worked a bit, but it was still too soft to roll. Gramma tears the freezer apart to make room for the massive mixing bowl, and we wait.... In and out of the freezer, several bowl transfers, and it is 9:41pm. Almost done, kitchen is a mess, dishes everywhere, chocolate under our fingernails.... Yep. But gee, they sure are delish. Alright, going out to anyone who tries this recipe, YOU LIE INA! YOU LIE!

Ahem. In conclusion, add 1 cup of chocolate (equal parts) to the recipe. If it isn't firm enough after one hour, put it in the freezer and check it periodically. Instead of using confectioner's sugar OR cocoa powder, I suggest equal parts conf. sugar and hot cocoa mix (what of it? it worked!) Put aside at least 3 hours for this recipe and be prepared for a big cleanup. Put down newspaper or something. When you put it up in the fridge, make sure to put parchment paper between each layer.

9:49pm, this is the result of 2 batches:


Buh. They are dern good though.
