Anna Olsen's truffle tip

The cocoa beans have 2 elements: cocoa liquor and cocoa butter.
When these 2 elements are processed an blended at a particular temperature with sugar, milk and vanilla, you get chocolate!
Cocoa butter melts at a lower temperature than chocolate, so candy makers sometimes use it to soften the fillings of their chocolate truffles. Adding more cocoa butter to a recipe will impact its consistency, flavour and set, but if you like playing in the kitchen, I say give it a try! It makes the perfect sweet gift for your loved ones, and nothing says Valentine quite like chocolate.

Note: Truffles can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days or frozen for several weeks.
