Something Sweet: Chocolates

Chocolate Truffles

Can you tell? I am totally geared up for Valentines day! What's not to love about Valentines day, it is a day for sweet things, and even better for telling the people you care about how much they mean to you. And hey if you don't like the holiday think of all the candy that goes on sale shortly after.

The one thing I really associate with Valentines day is CHOCOLATE!!!! I love the stuff. This year I am making the hubby some home made chocolate truffles in a variety of flavors. The first flavor is a chocolate coffee truffle. These guys are really rich with a semi bitter filling which balances out the richness and the sweetness quite nicely.

These truffles are available for order. Contact me if interested and state the number of truffles you would like and I will get back to you with pricing.

Up next a raspberry chocolate truffle with a tutorial (If I remember to take pictures)

Have a sweet day everyone

Valentines day Truffle Box

These new cookie boxes I came up with are my new favorite thing to make. In fact I love making them so much I wanted to share a tutorial with you, however I got so into making the box that I totally forgot to take pictures. So I promise the next box I make I will finish up the pictures and have a fun tutorial for you all.

This box was made for my lovely friend Kristine who recently got engaged! Yay congrats Kristine.

I wanted to make the couple something special to celebrate their special moment and what better than a box made of cookies filled with more cookies and some yummy chocolate coffee truffles!

Kristine was very surprised and loved the box. Her fiance was also super helpful and super sneaky and let me know what the ring looked like so I could paint a replica of it to put in the box.
