holiday highlights






So, I decided to make homemade truffles this year...

Some photos of the process...




Check out http://www.howsweeteats.com/2011/12/gooey-chocolate-coconut-truffles for the coconut truffles I made...truly amazing! The rest I just started making different ganaches, dipping them, then topping them with whatever seemed like it would be good :-)

And, I got a little crafty with the packaging:




The greatest tip ever for what to do when a ganache breaks...make hot chocolate!!! Luckily, it broke only once on me, so I wasn't forced to overload on chocolate ;-)


& lastly, Jules chilling with his Christmas toys :-)
