Homemade Chocolate Truffles method

Ingredients:

16 oz dark chocolate

1 cup heavy cream




1 tbsp liquor (optional) (if using, coffee liquor goes truly well here)

Directions:

Break up the chocolate into small pieces.

Heat the cream just to the point of simmering. Watch it the whole time, since boiling cream can overflow the pot! remove from heat right away once it starts to simmer.

Stir in the chocolate and liquor, and keep stirring until the chocolate has melted completely. Let cool, then put in the refrigerator.

Check the consistency of the truffle mixture after 5 hours in the refrigerator. You should be able to scoop it with a spoon and roll balls from it. If it's too soft (impossible to roll into balls), put it back in the refrigerator and check again after 1 hour.

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the truffle mixture is the right consistency, use a spoon to put some of it on your hands, roll into balls and put the balls on the parchment paper.

Note: at this point, you can also roll the truffles in chocolate crumbs (to make chocolate crumbs, just grind an supplementary small chocolate bar in a food processor). This step is optional, I only do it when presentation is important, since the truffles in chocolate crumbs look more expertly done then plain truffles :)

Put the baking sheet with truffles in the freezer for at least 1 hour. After you remove them from the freezer, take the truffles off the parchment paper and put on a plate. Store the truffles in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!

An Easy method for Home-Made Rock Candy

Candies are one of the simplest things to make. In order to put in order a food item though, you need to know what it is. Many population consider candy and chocolate to be one and the same thing. However, there is more to these fun filled treats than gooey chocolate delight. The different kinds of candies include hard, soft and sweet. Truffles and lollipops are easy recipes that can be made in your kitchen.

Making rock candy at home is a source of pleasure because you can add your own creativity to the recipe. You can experiment with different flavors and colors to come up with new and spellbinding delights. In fact, the whole family can join in the fun!

To begin the process of candy making, soak a piece of thread in water for some time. Then tie the thread to a stick or a pencil and place the pencil at the mouth of the jar. In order to help the thread to hang straight, you can attach a paper clip to it. The next step is to roll the wet thread in granulated sugar. This operation helps the sugar crystals to stay glued together as the rock candy starts to form. You can either put in order the sugar syrup at home or buy it ready made from your local supermarket. Pour the sugar syrup into the jar.




Carefully lower the string into the jar till it is about an inch from the bottom. Now cover the jar with a plastic or paper towel and wait for the sugar crystals to set. It will take around two to four hours for the sugar to crystallize.

Lollipops are other easy sweetmeat recipe. The ingredients needed for a lollipop formula are granulated sugar, water and corn syrup. In a pan, mix together 3 ½ cups of granulated sugar, a cup of water and 1 ½ cup of corn syrup. Then, heat the compound until the sugar dissolves properly. It is foremost to stir continuously till the compound reaches a boiling point. Take off the pan from the heat and add in your own flavors and color. The ideal temperature to allow the candy to boil properly is 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

This easy formula shows that manufacture candy is not a difficult task and it is not even time- consuming. Along with that, homemade rock candy does not include any chemicals and other additives. This makes it a healthy treat for the kids as well.
