Boxes of 6 for $3 in a variety of flavors. So far it has been a bigger success than originally planned as I have already sold over 170 boxes and continue to receive orders throughout the holiday season. If anyone else wanted to try doing this as a local fundraiser PM me for some great easy truffle recipes! _________________ Corin New England State Rep www.gabriel-nava.virtual-memorials.com Gabriels website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66S-vt5sI8 Gabriels Video http://corinscrazylife.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://newenglandcherubs.wordpress.com New England Blog

We sold over 700 boxes and hopefully spread a little bit of CDH awareness along the way. A big Thank You to my MIL, my Aunt Ann, my husband, and everyone else who were all selling them faster than I could make them _________________ Corin New England State Rep www.gabriel-nava.virtual-memorials.com Gabriels website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66S-vt5sI8 Gabriels Video http://corinscrazylife.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://newenglandcherubs.wordpress.com New England Blog

They sound so exotic and seems hard to make. I hope it's easy. I actually hate to cook. If I can open a box I'm good to go. Everynite around 4pm I start wishing Betty Crocker was my mom. I love peanut butter.....yum yum yum. I'm game tho and will give it a shot

I would love to make them for the girls. You know what- Corin, would you send me the recipe. Lise, I'll try and let you know and you try and let me know. I think that would be fun for News Year day for me and the girls to try. I am like you Lise- I do not cook. Give me a box and I am all over it. This will be fun.

You can change the flavor by substituting some of the heavy cream (no more than 1/3) with flavoring such as extracts, liquors, purees, etc... For the peanut butter and mint I substituted 2/3 of the chocolate chips for peanut butter or mint chips. I tried to be as detailed as possible-so don't be intimidated by the length of this post-its really not that difficult! Equipment Needed: sauce pan, whisk, large bowl, metal strainer (optional), dipping fork, parchment paper, sheetpan, small microwave safe bowl, spatula Yields: Approx 35 truffles Filling: Heavy Cream 5 ounces Butter 2 ounces (1/2 stick) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 1 lb 4 oz (I think they usually come in 10 oz bags at the supermarket- so 2 bags) Coating Chocolate for Dipping: Approx 1 lb bag (I use the coating chocolate they sell at craft stores in the candy section-its cheaper and works better than the stuff in the supermarkets) 1. Heat the heavy cream, butter, and flavoring if used in a sauce pan till it begins to boil 2. As soon as it starts to boil pour it over your chocolate in a large bowl 3. Mix the chocolate and cream with a whisk slowly until smooth (if it still has a few lumps in it you can strain the mix while its still hot) 4. Let filling cool overnight covered with plastic wrap-but not refrigerated 5. Scoop and roll filling into small balls, let sit for about an hour (do not refrigerate, if you dip them cold the coating chocolate will crack) 6. Heat coating chocolate until just melted 7. Dip the truffles in the coating chocolate and place on parchment lined sheetpan (the dipping takes a bit of practice- you can buy a dipping fork at the craft store or I use a plastic fork with the middle two prongs broken off) 8. Enjoy -they last about 4 weeks and do not need to be refrigerated-you can refrigerate them to extend the life of the truffles, but the chocolate may turn a bit gray from the refrigerator moisture, they are still fine to eat just not as visually appealing Let me know how they come out or if you have any questions! _________________ Corin New England State Rep www.gabriel-nava.virtual-memorials.com Gabriels website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66S-vt5sI8 Gabriels Video http://corinscrazylife.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://newenglandcherubs.wordpress.com New England Blog
