Welcome to Day 8 of Baking Extravaganza! Possibly the best
and most awesome of the entries, because seriously – Truffles! And because it’s
so awesome, it also had to come after Christmas. Whoops, my bad. Next time I’ll
start this experiment at the beginning of the month instead of the middle. Even
if you think you’re stuffed full of sweets after the holiday and couldn’t
possibly eat another item of sugar, you’re wrong. For these, you’re dead wrong.
Does anyone else remember the first time they had Chubby
Hubby ice cream? My strongest memory of the time was sheer awe that someone was
smart enough to combine so many wonderful things in such a small container. I
honestly think that person deserves some sort of recognition. While I searched
the internet high and low to figure out who exactly invented the flavor, it let
me down miserably. So all I can say is – thank you Ben and Jerry for bringing
us such amazingness in a carton.
Clearly, when I saw that someone figured out how to make
chubby hubby truffles, well what more did I need? Forget that I’d never made a
truffle before in my life – clearly if I made these for my coworkers’ Christmas
plates, I’d be the hit of the day. And let me tell you, it was a glorious day.
I hope everyone has a happy New Year! I'll be back in 2012 with even more recipes - so keep an eye out.
