My mother tends to go a little overboard when it comes to baking during the holiday seasons. I think its because we usually travel to see family during those times so since she’s not in charge of the main meal she tends to overcompensate a little. I think this year the grand total was: chocolate chip cookies, two kinds of fudge, gingersnap cookies, sugar cookies, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. There went my diet…
Somehow I seem to have caught her baking bug; this year I decided to try my hand at making truffles with a chocolate ganache filling – which turned out really good if I can brag a little. I decided to start small with something that I couldn’t screw up too terribly much, or at least could hide smudges and mistakes easily since everything’s covered in chocolate.
Since they worked out pretty well I think I’m going to get a little bolder in my next attempt. I found these little truffles on a blog that were made for Saint Patrick’s Day. Don’t they look adorable?! Maybe I wont wait until March to try out these cute green bites.
