If it is curdling or seizing on you, the chocolate is either getting too hot or water is finding a way in. If using a double boiler, the water underneath should not be much higher than a bare simmer.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-45050081523478336192009-01-01T15:32:00.000-05:002009-01-01T15:32:00.000-05:00Delurking...Oh man, those look beautiful!

I do everything and anything I can to melt chocolate properly, I've got a double boiler and everything, I avoid water like the plague, I even keep my face away in case I accidentally breath water vapour into the pot. And still it curdles on me! Do you have any advice on melting chocolate to make it as beautiful as these truffles are?Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02264848674807433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1528989260858692552008-12-31T19:21:00.000-05:002008-12-31T19:21:00.000-05:00BB - I know what you mean... they are hard to resi...BB - I know what you mean... they are hard to resist!<BR/><BR/>Aubrie - Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Quinn - I hope you try them!<BR/><BR/>Bunny - They do!<BR/><BR/>Hilary - Do let us know if you give them a go.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-5270423024211527192008-12-31T18:51:00.000-05:002008-12-31T18:51:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh!

I made the oreo truffles last year for a cookie exchange - they were yummy but looked a little challenged, so I am also pretty impressed with the perfection of these.<BR/><BR/>QuinnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-14245868991495893712008-12-31T00:32:00.000-05:002008-12-31T00:32:00.000-05:00Those look delicious!

I will only eat two of them per season when I am served those that someone else has made. If I made them I would not/ could not keep my paws off them, I love them so much! I imagine I would have much the same reaction to these. I will admire these from afar.<BR/>SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
