Chocolate Truffles

I decided to start my baking today which included a special treat that I actually haven’t made in about 5 or so years; my chocolate truffles.

They are delicious little chocolate ganache filled candies. These are more than time consuming and definitely labor intensive, but despite that they are full of love and chocolatey goodness!

It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like…

It’s that time of year again! The holiday season and by far one of my favorites. The Christmas music, falling snow, great family gatherings, and of course a reason to wear boots! Although it’s still November, today we received our first big snow. In addition I ventured out to a local craft bazaar. With all the decorations ready for the holidays, it definitely put me in the spirit. I’ve got to share this adorable reindeer statue I bought. It was so affordable and way too cute to pass up! I like to wait until after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decorations but luckily I’ll only have to wait a week before I can display this guy! These craft shows are always so much fun and so amazing to me. The talents of some people are incredible. Makes me wish I were more crafty! I’ll stick to supporting the local talent. =) Today was a great day that put me in the mood for the holidays. I’m excited to be spending them with family and friends. Oh and of course I had to have a little red cup of joy along the way! Hope you’re all looking forward to the holidays as well!
