Spiced Chocolate Sauce

2009-08-14T13:37:00.000-07:00

Spiced Savory Chocolate Sauce
I found this product rather interesting. A chocolate sauce that is sweet and spicy. You can use this on stir fry chicken. Sounds very interesting, but then again, anything with chocolate is interesting to a chocoholic like myself.

Earthy and rich, this complex combination spices will make your mouth water for more of these South American flavors. A recipe for a quick, succulently satisfying meal - simply stir fry chicken, onions, peppers (sweet and spicy), add sauce and serve in a soft tortilla topped with a dollop of sour cream.

Chocolate Recipes for Chocolate Lovers
Grand Marnier Truffles

4 T melted butter
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
4 oz. milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
4 T Grand Marnier
4 egg yolks
1 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tsp. orange extract

Makes about 30 truffles

Note: Pregnant or nursing women, young children or any with an
immune deficiency should not eat foods made with raw eggs.

Heat butter in a small saucepan until very hot and bubbly (be careful
not to let it burn). Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Stir
constantly until smooth and melted. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until foamy. Beat in the sugar
gradually, add extract and liquor and continue to beat until thick (see
photo). With mixer on slow to medium speed, gradually beat in the
melted chocolate mixture. Beat until smooth and well mixed. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes or until
firm.

Place your choice of coating in a bowl. If you're going to have more
than one, use separate bowls. Some possible coating choices are:
toasted coconut, chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered
chocolate, crushed Oreo® Cookies.

Scoop out a teaspoon full of the truffle mixture and, using your fingers,
roll it into a ball. Work quickly as the heat of your hand will quickly
start melting the chocolate. Drop ball in the coating bowl. Repeat the
process until there are 4 or 5 balls in the coating bowl. Gently roll the
truffles in the coating mixture and a sheet of waxed paper.
Wrap truffles in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for
up to ten days or in the freezer for up to a month.

Dark Chocolate Truffle Recipe

2006-07-24T20:23:00.000-07:00

Chocolate Recipes for Chocolate Lovers

Dark Chocolate Truffles
8 oz Semisweet chocolate; chopped into 1 1/4 inch pieces
4 oz Unsweetened chocolate; chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
2/3 c Heavy cream
2 tb Unsweetened cocoa; sifted
2 tb Confectioners' sugar; sifted

Instructions:
Place 8 ounces semisweet chocolate and the unsweetened chocolate in
a 4-quart bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan over
medium heat. Bring to a boil. Pour the boiling cream over the
chocolate. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, thin stir until smooth (now you
have ganache).

Refrigerate the ganache for 1 hour until firm but not
hard. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon of
ganache for each truffle (approximately 3/4 ounce), portion 24 truffles,
evenly space onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the
ganache portions for 15 minutes (so the ganache will be firm enough
to roll into truffles).

When the ganache is firm enough to handle,
remove from the refrigerator and individually roll each portion of
ganache in your palms, in a gentle circular motion, using just enough
pressure to form smooth rounds. Roll 16 of the rounds in 2
tablespoons cocoa and separately roll 8 in the confectioners sugar until
completely covered.

Store the truffles in a tightly sealed plastic
container, in the refrigerator. Remove about 1 hour before serving.

Chocolate Brownie Recipe

2006-05-26T15:36:00.000-07:00

Here is a great summertime brownie recipe

Rich chocolate brownies
Ingredients
3/4 cups flour
1/4 t. salt
1 1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. margarine or butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 ripe banana, well mashed
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup broken walnut meats
No baking powder or soda. This makes them extra dense and moist.

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F, (325 for a glass pan).
Combine flour and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Melt margarine or butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small pan on low heat. Cool to room
temperature.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla.
Add mashed banana.
Stir in chocolate mixture.
Gradually sift and stir in flour mixture.
Add chocolate chips and walnuts.
Pour into an 8"x 8" pan that has been sprayed with Pam or cooking
oil.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

These are good warm out of the oven. My family would eat the whole batch warm if I let them.
Maybe I should make two at a time, one to eat and one to save for later.

We've been conducting an experiment recently and have found that there is a small percentage of people out there that take blogs waaaaay to seriously. One mention of gourmet chocolate or just chocolate in a comment and they so nuts.

So we run a chocolate webstore. What better way to advertise than by letting everyone know that your store exists. Its just a way to get to know people. One person even called me some fairly nasty names. Why? Because he or she has a real mental problem. Maybe if they would eat more chocolate they wouldn't be so nasty. You just have to be in a good mood while eating chocolate - especially quality gourmet chocolate like we have in our store.

We have also received comments on our blogs that have nothing to do with chocolate. So what. I really don't care. If somebody wants to introduce their product hoping maybe somebody that is surfing the blogs will see what they have to offer - more power to them. As long as they don't just post a bunch of links and nothing else. If they tell me they liked my blog, I may go check them out and see what their blog is like.

Well, thats the end of my rant for today. Just know that if you start a blog you may just get some posts from people that want to try to get you to visit their store and buy something. If you don't like it then turn on the word verification or you will get posts. If you do get posts then why not visit their blog too. You never know what goodies you may find.

Valentine Chocolates

2005-01-27T17:38:00.000-08:00

Valentines day is just around the corner and its time to start thinking about your valentine. One of the most popular gifts to give your valentine is chocolate and flowers. Chocolates are the perfect valentines gift for both men and women. Women generally perefer the gourmet assortments, while men favor the chocolate covered cherries.

How did chocolate become so popular for Valentines Day. Chocolate is known as the food of the gods. Did you know chocolate contains PEA, a chemical thought to be very similar to chemicals released in the brain when people fall in love? Chocolate also raises levels of critical brain chemicals called beta endorphins that have an affect similar to "runners high".

There is nothing wrong with indulging in great chocolate once in a while. If you're going to indulge, why not get the best? So this Valentines Day get the richest, most delicious, expensive gourmet chocolate you can find, and have a ball.

Is there a right or wrong way to eat chocolate? Some people think so. While you don't have to go through extreme rituals like a wine connoisseur you should pay attention to what you are doing and not just gulp it down. Fine gourmet chocolates can be appreciated more when you use a few simple techniques:
1. Start with a clean palate. Don't eat anything sweet or bitter before you eat chocolate, this will make your tastebuds insensitive to the taste of the chocolate. The best thing to do is to drink something neutral before indulging in your chocolate.
2. Pay attention to what you are eating. Fine chocolate is expensive and it deserves some attention. Don't eat these chocolates while you are distracted. Try to savor every bite. Focus on trying to detect every flavor in each bite.
3. Take your time while eating. Let the chocolate melt slowly in your mouth so you experience every flavor. If you just chew and swallow most of the flavor will be missed.

While these techniques will enhance your eating pleasure for just about any chocolate applying them to the finest gourmet chocolates will improve the overall enjoyment they provide.
