A riddle.

What's better than sex and almost as good as a cocktail?



Homemade truffles. I used Epi's recipe for caramel-dark chocolate truffles. I am now inspired to create all kinds of delicious handmade chocolate treats, now that I've got the basics down. They were pleasantly easy (though time-consuming), and unbelievably delicious. The fleur de sel adds a lovely note of complexity to what would otherwise be a very flat-tasting candy. Try some for yourself, and look for future truffle experimentation here. I'm thinking lime/white chocolate with a very very bittersweet coating (something like Cote d'Or's Noir Brut).

^ Truffles in the making - cocoa coated before chocolate dipping.
