A few years ago I was taught how to make chocolate truffles. They are really fun, and really yummy! But very time consuming. Last year I was on bed rest and hugely pregnant and didn't make them, so I was anxious to make them and excited to do it in my new kitchen. I decided to make a box of chocolates for each of Eric's directors and add it to their Christmas gift. I made Peanut Butter fillings, Raspberry Chocolate Gonoche Fillings, and Mint Chocolate Fillings and I dipped Milk Chocolate and Dark. I made the fillings one night and then dipped the second night. I think I finally went to bed around 3am after all was finished. Wow, time consuming, but I love doing this kind of stuff. I ended up making over 150 truffles! I can't believe it... maybe this is why a gained a few pounds over the holidays.
They turned out heavenly!
Just a little messy....
These Peanut Butter Kisses, we morphed into Reindeer for a treat for Brent's Preschool Class. This is my ultimate favorite holiday cookie, that I can't stop eating, once I try one.. very dangerous to have around. We added pretzels for the antlers and icing for the eyes, mouth, and red icing for the ruldoph nose. Taylor decorated most of them herself. Good Job Tay!
