The Truffle

 

 

This super candy is one of my absolute favorites. Diabetics beware; this one is sweet and should be used in small portions. The rest of you can go for it.

 

The keys to making this wonderful candy are:

 

*Use the very best smoothest Black Out Bud Butter Unsalted butter please

*Stir, like crazy, all the time- a whisk is real handy

*Have all the ingredients set out in advance

*Keep the heat low enough to avoid spatters (they can nail you if you’re not paying attention or insist on putting your face inside the sauce pan)

 

Ingredients:

 

Three squares of Baker’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Five tablespoons black out bud butter

One egg yolk

2/3 Cup of Confectioners sugar- sifted

One-teaspoon vanilla extract

½ Cup of Baker’s Angel Flake Coconut

One-tablespoon high quality brandy or cognac

 

Preparation:

 

Cream butter with egg yolk over low heat and whisk until smooth

Slowly add sugar to butter

Add vanilla and brandy

Melt chocolate in double boiler

Pour chocolate into butter and blend until smooth

Chill butter mixture until firm

Shape butter mixture into one-inch balls and roll in coconut

Store in refrigerator

 

 

**I do not like coconut, so I replaced it with crushed, unsalted peanuts!** They were deeeeelicious!
