Chocolate Truffles
This is how I make really good chocolate truffles. I've been making them for over 20 years, everyone seems to like them.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
Shell
1 ½ - 2 lbs. bittersweet chocolate (72 – 85%)
I use Scharffen Berger 72% or a mix of 72 and 85% baking chocolate
Ganache
6 oz. semisweet chocolate (60 – 65%) I use a mix of Scharffen Berger 60 and 72%
3 tbsp. sweet butter (best available quality)
1 cup heavy cream (best available quality)
Vanilla extract, finest quality
Shell
1 ½ - 2 lbs. bittersweet chocolate (72 – 85%)
I use Scharffen Berger 72% or a mix of 72 and 85% baking chocolate
Ganache
6 oz. semisweet chocolate (60 – 65%) I use a mix of Scharffen Berger 60 and 72%
3 tbsp. sweet butter (best available quality)
1 cup heavy cream (best available quality)
Vanilla extract, finest quality
Directions
Making Truffles
Equipment:
Tempering box
Truffle molds
Small paint brush
Marble slab, or other cool surface for working on
Bowl large enough for the ganache
A good thermometer
Procedure:
First, make the shells. Chop up the bittersweet chocolate into small bits and put them into the tempering box, reserving ¼ teaspoon of chocolate chopped very fine. Set the box to about 115 degrees F. When the chocolate is all melted and about 115 degrees, turn it down to about 95 degrees F. When it gets there, take some of the chocolate and put it on the marble slab and stir it around until it gets thick, then pour it back in. When that is mixed in, pour in the reserved chocolate and stir it in. That will provide seeds for the chocolate crystals to form around. After a few hours, the chocolate is ready for the molds.
Use the small paint brush to paint the chocolate onto the inside of the molds. I use three layers to make sure there aren’t any gaps or holes. Let them cool overnight.
Now you can make the ganache. Chop up the semisweet chocolate and put it in the large bowl. Heat the cream in a small heavy saucepan until it is almost simmering, then pour it over the chocolate and stir it in. It will take a couple of minutes to get it smooth. Add the butter and one teaspoon of vanilla to the chocolate. Let it cool for an hour or so. It should be the consistency of soft margarine.
The easiest way to put the ganache into the molds is to pipe it in, using a pastry bag or two gallon-sized plastic bags set one inside the other, and one corner cut off. Pour the ganache into the bag, and squeeze it into the molds. Fill them to a bit below the top, to allow space for the bottom.
When they are all filled, use the paint brush to paint the bottoms onto the molds, same as doing the shells. Let everything cool overnight. Turn the molds upside down and remove the truffles.

Notes
I buy nice small boxes that hold four truffles, and plastic inserts to hold them securely. I buy full page sticker paper from Office Depot to print my labels onto. The sticker paper is glossy and looks more professional. Use Epson Photo Quality Self-adhesive Sheets or equivalent.

This is a family favorite that I got from the SF Chronicle food section.
Ingredients
1/2 Cups dark brown sugar 1 Tbl oil
1/4 Cups water 1 Shallot, sliced
1/4 Cups Asian fish sauce 1¾ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
3 Tbl rice vinegar dark-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp minced garlic ¼ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
1 Tsp soy sauce, dark or regular white-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp ginger, grated fine Steamed white rice (or quinua)
1 Tsp freshly ground pepper Mushrooms, Shitake or small Portobello
2 small Thai chilies (fresh or dried), broken in half, optional
1/4 Cups water 1 Shallot, sliced
1/4 Cups Asian fish sauce 1¾ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
3 Tbl rice vinegar dark-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp minced garlic ¼ Lb Chicken, skinless, boneless
1 Tsp soy sauce, dark or regular white-meat, 1" Pieces
1 Tsp ginger, grated fine Steamed white rice (or quinua)
1 Tsp freshly ground pepper Mushrooms, Shitake or small Portobello
2 small Thai chilies (fresh or dried), broken in half, optional
Directions
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces
Combine the brown sugar, water, fish sauce, vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, pepper and chilies in a small bowl. Mix well, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the shallot and sauté until brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and sauté until it is slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally.
After 10 minutes, add the mushrooms. Continue to stir occasionally until the sauce has reduced by half, about 12 to 20 minutes depending on the pot size.
Serve over rice (or Quinoa and Kale from Costco) and garnish with cilantro.

Notes
Can substitute 1/4 tsp of red pepper powder for the chili peppers, otherwise follow recipe. The mushrooms were my daughter’s suggestion, they are optional. I use a MicroPlane to make the ginger almost a paste; my family complained a bit about the larger pieces when I cut them up by hand. When I use Thai chilies, I remove them before adding the sauce to the chicken.

Carob & Chocolate fudge or Double pan chocolate Fudge
Fudge originally came from Bettycrocker.com recipe it was my favorite it was consider too much, too thick but I divided them up and used it double pan method.
Foil ban 13 x 9 pan or cookie sheets it recommend if you use cookie sheet method you clean up your freezer and, 13 x 9 its medium thick, and if cookie sheet method its thinner but there is more.
Make super thick suggest using loaf pan...and my mother loves this method and to idea it best method so far. but you need to put loaf pan in for two hours...prior to stove top cooking. Allow you have setting faster..refrigeration time will shorter...it take hour with cold pan to go with hot fudge...and then you put either freezer or refrigerator I always put in freezer for like thirty minutes and it sets faster.
Note for storing: best to keep in refrigerator otherwise you end up with strange slab of soft fudge...resembles taffy or playdoh.
Ingredients
2 12 oz. Semi-sweet, white, dark, bittersweet or milk chocolate or [carob(is no caffeine)]
1 can 14 oz condense milk (divided)(3/4 c. set aside)
1 c. rough texture (nuts: coconut no sweet, walnuts(toasted), pecans(slightly toasted), peanuts, or pistachios)
2 tsp vanilla
Other tasty ingredients you could add: (1/4 C.) each. for other sweet, or salty or bacon, instant coffee you can just use 1 tsp to 1 tbsp.
instant coffee at very end of stove-top process,
after chocolate is melted in, candied cherries, Pretzels, cookies, popped rice, raisins, dried fruit, Bacon that still considered chewy but still has crispy texture. coconut if you didn't add prior.

Directions
1)be sure to do this before you do recipe, take and a.foil butter it bottom of pan where fudge will sit and freeze it. Because it crucial step. Miss it and your fudge won't set and other issue is everyone assume refrigerating is necessary right but I thinking freezing the pan helps setting it takes only thirty minutes maybe even less you can have more time to cut.
2) large sauce pan or or pot, spray cooking spray, melt chocolate and condense milk until creamy, Stir in rough texture and add vanilla if your going use it.
3) it take 2 hours set if you don't do butter pan set aside in freezer method. if you set aside in freezer the pan you end up saving yourself hour... to set in freezer again or fridge depending on available space.

Notes
If you need ideas bettycrocker had some ideas but you have also assume what tastes good too.
If your adding flavor don't add vanilla -> vanilla is flavoring.
Mint is common flavoring, try mint alcohol flavor would be interesting but add fresh mint would add color to top of fudge as it sets.
*Second type chocolate same sort method. but whatever is left, here is idea what double chocolate idea was suppose to be. Idea was put on chocolate on cooled already chocolate which I seem to think is impossible because maybe it would worked. But I think might never worked it cooled chocolates would work maybe but that just my general idea I tried it, It failed. So if your trying make it work you have to have freezer that walk in and have no chances of failure. other issue that I ran into that big problem for me...not all chocolates work together taste your chocolates first and what textures first before you make double chocolate layer I was thinking three type fudge would something gawk at but since I have no walk in freezer to make this amazing feat. Anyone else up for grab on it your welcome to try it.
Probably the reason why Bettycrocker took it down.
Nuts(?) : if you have people with nut allergies I recommend using dried fruit and your own made cookies added in broken up into recipe. Or Popped Rice. Why nuts toasted because it tastes better?
Chocolate note: chocolate that tastes good, even bars, or something you love to eat as fudge in your existence. I noted people assume toll house is good...don't I can only assume it only good for cookies and bars. Fudge will last about(5 mos to half a year) Guitard is good timely brand but where I live this brand is sold out everyday or I never find it.

Notes
I was thinking this cookie would work well for engraving or painting type style but I ran out time maybe someone else would take up torch and make into something more.
Royal icing is pretty easy to make but that something if want to take up.
Icing you just add confectioner sugar and milk depending on thickness, and adding flavor and color.
Royal icing you add egg white, or egg white powder it matters...because gives stiff peaks that last and depending if your adding color there are recipes online you can search for.
I left mine plain, if want to add fresh ginger to give more punch to taste...it not recommended its already spicy depending cinnamon your using. I am using Saigon cinnamon that is pretty much packing heat.
