Answer 1

If you are making truffles why not make fudge also.



Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

3 ounces chocolate
3 tbsp. butter
2 ounces powdered sugar
2 tbsp. fresh cream

Preparation:

Put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan. The chocolate need not be grated fine. The cream can be replaced by skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed to settle. Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler, stirring to mix well.

When melted, remove the double boiler from the fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm. Sift the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps, stirring constantly.

Let stand 24 hr. in a cool place. (In winter, 12 hr. in a cold room will do.) At the end of this time, cut a piece of this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a knife or spoon.

Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little. Then roll it in grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly.

Let stand 2 hr. before serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little soft. Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.

Elegant Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

1-2/3 cup heavy cream
7 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 lb. good quality semisweet chocolate
Flavoring Variations:
Plain
1 tbsp. vanilla Extract
Nuts
1 tbsp. vanilla Extract
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped coarsely

Espresso

1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 tsp. powdered instant espresso or coffee
Liqueur
2 tbsp. (choose one - Grand Marnier, Irish cream, almond, hazelnut, raspberry, etc.)
Coating Variations:
Cocoa powder
Finely chopped nuts
Powdered Sugar

Directions:

1. Melt butter and cream together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Turn up the heat just until the cream comes to a boil.

2. Remove from heat immediately and stir in the chocolate (broken into pieces), until completely melted. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to cool. Stir in choice of flavoring. Cover and place in the refrigerator for three hours, stirring 3 or 4 times as it hardens.

3. To make the truffles, shape chocolate into 1 ½ balls and coat with choice of topping. Do this by covering a flat surface thickly with topping and coating your hands as well. Roll the truffles in the topping until they are coated completely.

4. Refrigerate for 1 - 2 hours, until the candy is firm. Keep covered and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve, give, or eat!

White Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

6-1ounce squares white chocolate
2 cups pecans
1 cup finely ground vanilla wafer crumbs
1/3 cup Grand Marnier or orange liqueur
Finely grated peel of 1 orange
Powdered sugar

Preparation:

Melt chocolate in microwave or in top of a double boiler. Grind pecans in a food processor. Stir into melted chocolate. Add 1 cup crumbs, liqueur and peel. Mix well.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 week before serving, so flavors blend.

Truffles will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Amaretto Truffles

Yield: 12 truffles

Ingredients:

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Amaretto
4 ounces milk chocolate
Unsweetened cocoa

Preparation:

Place chocolate in stainless steel bowl. Combine the cream and butter in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Pour over chocolate. Add Amaretto and stir until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours or until set.

Shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls, rolling with the palms of your hands, and set aside on waxed paper. Chill for 1 hour. Melt milk chocolate. Dip the chocolate balls into milk chocolate and, immediately, roll each in cocoa. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container. Use waxed paper, if necessary, to separate layers

Answer 2

Hi.......I really can't help u with ur truffles (I'm looking for a good recipe too) but I can help u with the bake sale. Make chocolate chip cookies on a stick; with mini M&M's & cut up pieces of Cookies & Cream chocolate bar (can buy in store; it's white chocolate with cookie bits in it)..........they r really good. Buy some popsicle sticks & soak the one's ur going to use, in water for about half an hour (this prevents them from burning). Make ur cookies & put the popsicle stick in them, like a lolli-pop, before u bake. Bake as usual & badda boom, u have chocolate chip cookies on a stick. I have made these several times for my kids classes & bake sales---------they sell like wild fire!!! And if u wanna fancy it up even a bit more, buy the coloured cellofane wrap & curling ribbon. Wrap each cookie up (leaving the stick exposed) & tie around the base of it with the curling ribbon. Keeping in mind, that if this is a bake sale for a kid's school, they won't price the cookie that high but if ur doing this for an independant bake sale, it will be worth it. GOOD LUCK>>>ZETA!!!

Here are some recipe ideas that may help you! Good Luck!

Oh, at a bake sale you could sell any type of cookie, brownies, mini cakes (cupcakes or petit fours), muffins, breads (flavored like banana or lemon), or candies. There is really a lot of things that you could sell at a bake sale. I hope that you find what you are looking for, oh you could make and sell fudge also. Good luck!
