Going Ferrell

Today, I made:

Oreo truffles,
Nutella Truffles,
Cookie dough truffles,
Peanut butter truffles.

I am covered in chocolate and the Kitchen looks like Willy Wonka had an orgy in it.

Totally worth it, although I noticed I'm starting to get a little podgy again.
After I put the recipes for the truffles up, I'm going to have to start working on some healthy options.

It'll be so hard though, I LOVE baking. Especially with chocolate, the truffle recipes were the easiest things in the world. The only time consuming part is how messy it can get!

Ah well, summer is coming and I need to be more active. I'd rather not get any more sugar headaches and not wheeze when I have to run up and down stairs.

I'm going to be all like:
"Ooo chocolate...wait.....hmph :("


Although, warmer weather means there are always a tonne of tasty fruit based recipes.



Ahahaha I love Will Ferrell :P

Anyway, I shall update soon, I have been spectacularly busy recently. I will tell you why soon ;D
Although one reason was that I spent 7 hours doing an essay D:

Like 7 hours straight.

Sleeeeeeepyyyyyyyyyyy!

Anywho, speak soon ;D

Mixerella

Sup homie G's ;D

I have been a busy panda these last few days so I have 2 nouvelle recettes pour vous! One I thought I'd plan on making and the other I stumbled on totally by accident.


First La Premiere recette!

This is for home-made peanut butter cups!



Ingredients:
+ 4 heaped tablespoons chunky peanut butter
+ 200g chocolate
+ about 1/4 cup of butter
+ 1 tablespoon of golden syrup
+ 2 teaspoons of dessicated coconut

Method:
+ 1st of all, snap up the 100g of chocolate and melt it. spoon a layer of chocolate into an ice cube tray or a chocolate mould or whatever you wanna use. Then pop that in the fridge for around 10-15 minutes to harden.
+ In a cup, melt the butter in the microwave, add the peanut butter, the coconut and the golden syrup and mix it all up.
+ Get the ice cube tray out of the fridge, spread the peanut butter mix over the chocolate and put it in the fridge for about 30 mins to set.
+ When that has done, repeat step 1 and pour the last 100g of chocolate over the peanut butter cups and let that set.


Et viola!

These are the easiest things ever to make.

Using the peanut butter filling recipe, this leads us on to recipe 2!

Peanut butter frosting.

This is a total cheat recipe using ready made frosting but mixing these 2 tasted so good I have to remember it for later!

All it is, take the recipe for the peanut butter mixture and add it to an equal amount of Betty crocker cream cheese frosting. It makes the BEST creamy, nutty, almost vanilla-ry taste.

Soooooo good! <3

I might work on crafting my own cream cheese frosting one day and hybriding the 2, but as this is still in an experimental phase, I left it :P

Peace!
