So far this week, I have made: Aztec spice, orange creme, espresso, peanut butter, strawberry balsamic, milk chocolate, gingerbread, pomegranate, & molten caramel. Plus a few hundred eyeballs!
I have been working on a new truffle. I have made the Aztec Spice before, but I think I have improved it. I used Ancho and Guajillo chiles and a touch of habenero along with a few other spices. It has great flavor with heat slowly coming in at the end. I think it could be my new favorite.
Received several single-origin chocolate samples this week. Ecuador, Columbia, Peru, Madagascar, Sur del lago and Ocumare. They are all 65%. I like them all! I have to narrow it down to my 4 favorites. Might need some help. Anyone available?
Just finished dipping Marcona almond caramels. Yesterday I dipped caramels in dark chocolate and sprinkled with Fleur De Sel salt. Nothing beats a great caramel!
