Apples and Chocolate

[scarlettscion]

Apparently a company was able to build an entire business of preslicing apples, dipping them in a fixative that keeps them fresh for a month, and selling them to the public

I do that with apples all the time. I tried taking along wet-wipes for a while, but it was just too much trouble.

fancy pants notes of flavor hee.

Also, I want the recipie.

truffle recipie

[scarlettscion]

chocolate: 2 lbs
butter: 2 oz
sugar: 2 oz
liquour: 1/4 cup
heavy cream: 1.5 cups

Chop chocolate into small pieces, place over water bath and melt halfway. In a small saucepan heat butter, sugar and heavy cream until it scalds, pour over bowl of chocolate, allow to melt a moment and then stir until combines. Add liquor, stir, and place in fridge until firmed.
Note that this recipie sets up fast; if it gets too hard in the fridge, allow to come to room temp. Scoop truffle mix with small scoop or pipe w/bag, roll into balls and toss in coca powder or choice of topping.

The liquor shouldn't be fancy, you want the flavor to come through. Cointreau or Grand mariner were suggested.

To obtain a "crisp" coating on the truffle:
dunk in pure melted white, milk, or dark chocolate. scoop out and allow to dry. there is a little doohicky you can buy just for scooping the truffle out without messing up the coating's smoothness.

Eating apples in class can be easy, clean, and quiet, provided you have a knife.

yes...unfortunantly all my sharp kill-people or apples knives are in the kitchen, not my backpack. Maybe I'll get yet another swiss army knife so I can lose it...again.
