Comments on: Easy chocolate truffles http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/02/10/easy-chocolate-truffles/ A lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:31:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/02/10/easy-chocolate-truffles/#comment-3865 ellaella Fri, 07 Nov 2008 23:24:58 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2008/02/10/easy-chocolate-truffles/#comment-3865 Well, if they had any scruples they'd post publicly here in comments. I answer comments but not nasty emails. Bittersweet and semisweet can usually be interchanged. It's unsweetened that can't be used in place of the others entirely. I really have to try that other recipe soon! Well, if they had any scruples they’d post publicly here in comments. I answer comments but not nasty emails.

Palin fans know how to read? I'm sorry they're giving you trouble. You know how it is, ignorance breeds hate. I'm a believer that education can fix almost any problem we face in society today. But on a sweeter note, the truffles, which have been in the fridge for what.... as week... are so perfect for a quick sugar fix. My husband thanks you for the recipe as well. I just want to clarify that I used BITTERSWEET chips, not SEMIsweet, with 1/2 a bar of unsweetened chocolate....but the little extra cream and butter, somehow make up for the sweetness. Perfect for a dark chocolate fan. Really? Palin fans know how to read? I’m sorry they’re giving you trouble. You know how it is, ignorance breeds hate.

You wouldn't believe some of nasty emails I've gotten from Palin fans the past 24 hours. Sigh.. Anyway, I left a reply for you on the muffin post, asking for the list of ingredients and some other information about the muffins that are giving you trouble. We'll get it straightened out! Happy voting! I’m sure they are, Violet, and I look forward to meeting them. You wouldn’t believe some of nasty emails I’ve gotten from Palin fans the past 24 hours. Sigh..

The pleasure of feeding someone is synonymous with someone who cares about society as a whole. Now if I could only get my muffin baking right....I'd feel better. :o) Most of my friends are intelligent conscientious individuals…. particularly if they love to cook.

Thank you so much. Yours sound absolutely mouth watering! Chamambord sound wonderful and raspberry or orange liqueur would be good too. I recently picked up a truffle recipe at the supermarket - 2 ingredients: chocolate and cream cheese. I'm going to play with it -- it's the type of recipe that has a left-over ingredient, grr -- and will post whenever I get around to trying it. Thanks in advance for any readers you send my way. Even if they disagree, I love opposing viewpoints. Expressed politely.... Thanks again for the update! You’ve made my day, Violet. Thank you so much. Yours sound absolutely mouth watering!
