That seems to be the way it always is. If you can cook you can't bake worth squat or if you can bake you can't cook worth squat. Kind of like school - those who excel in English can't do math and those who excel in Math can't do English well.

Kara-thats ok, personally I would have chosen the brownie over the cake any day. Most people here that I do wedding cakes and pastries and tell me they want to come to my house for dinner- but baking and cooking are two different things completely! Baking is more of an exact science-I like the that. I can come up with recipes and if they fail-I can figure out why based on the science of it all. Ask me to cook a steak and I have no idea what I'm doing
Lise- I will be waiting for my truffle!

I did the milk and choc chips last nite. I put it on my stove top and thought ( well, stressed all nite) about leaving the milk on the stove. Is that right???
That's what i did so if if everyone gets sick....I'll be calling you back
Mark only got my 2 bags of chips so can i roll the truffle balls in powdered sugar???
Lise- You left the cream on the stove overnight-or you left the filling (cream/choc/butter all mixed together) out overnight. I'm confused.
The filling does not need refrigeration. It has something to do with the fact that you scald the cream and the ratio of chocolate to liquid. I promise no one will get sick-I'll break out my baking science book and prove it if you need me to.
You can roll them in powdered sugar and they will be fine- but they will only last about a week that way. When you dip them in chocolate it seals the filling in and gives it a longer shelf life.

SEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't friggin cook even a 3 step thing!!!
I melted the butter , heavy cream and 2 bags of choc chips together and left that overnight on the stove.
I'm guessing from your email I messed that up??
Ok, you were supposed to heat the cream and butter to a boil and pour it over the chocolate chips-than mix it all together, the heat from the cream and butter melts the chocolate for you. But as long as it is one smooth mixture, it should be fine. What does it look like today. It should be smooth, thick, and scoopable. Lise- I still have faith in you

This is Victoria (Lise's daughter) never give my mom another one of your recipies.......just kidding they are really good and i can't wait to hear more of your recipies
Hmmmmmmm, where DOES she get her humor???
OK I did it right!
I did spray my hands w/ 'Pam' so they wouldn't stick to the chocolate.
Rolled them into little balls and then rolled them in the powdered sugar!
Victoria is my Choco-holic. That's why I tested on her. She knows her chocolate!!!
But I'm bringing them to my dad's. He's in a bad mood so chocolate will cure what ails him!
How do you package them? My former work place is having a benefit for our daughter Faith and I think it would be another good way to raise money and awareness for CDH.
I found 1/2 lb candy boxes that fit 6 truffles in the box. I put them individually in small paper candy cups and packaged them in the boxes. You can find the boxes at any craft/paper supply store in the baking/candy aisle. I know AC Moore sells the paper cups and the boxes-The boxes come in packages of 4 for 1.99 I believe.
