Forget Your Troubles - Just Make Truffles - the World's Simplest Chocolate Recipe Here's the world’s simplest chocolate recipe! 9 ounces good quality bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate (in chip form will be the easiest so you don't have to chop it, otherwise chop by hand or in food processor so it melts quickly) 1/2 cup heavy cream 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons brandy, Grand Marnier or other favorite liqueur. Strong coffee is also great for flavoring. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract This is simply a ganache. As some of you know already, my addiction demands a double batch. Half of it will be served as fondue for dipping with anything from fruit like strawberries, raspberries, cherries, etc. to nuts, pound cake, angel food cake and whatever else your heart desires. The other half can be firmed up in the refrigerator, rolled into small balls and then coated with anything you like. You can use Dutch processed cocoa powder, chopped nuts, shaved coconut or anything else you might enjoy. You can also hide something in the middle like pieces of fruit, nuts, etc. Of course ganache is also an excellent frosting for cakes or brownies. Yes, I ice my brownies with it. There’s only one rule in my kitchen when it comes to chocolate. There can never be too much of it! Heat the cream in a saucepan until it just bubbles around the sides. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate until completely melted. Stir in the butter, brandy and vanilla. Serve as fondue or let cool a bit then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm. Shape into little balls and dip into your favorite coating(s)! Enjoy!  |

Sorry silence, the devil's food made me do it!

There's little doubt about that silence. The devil doesn't require much either, just a quick signature on a form should do it. He's gone low fat/low carb too these days from what I hear!
