I’ve been so busy making truffles and trying to catch up on other work that I completely forgot to post the obligatory pictures! Here’s the pre-truffle photo, with several of the truffle ingredients shown. Looks like the fun’s about to commence, no?

Each of those big blocks is ten pounds of chocolate. The smaller packs of chocolate, still in their wrappers, are the milk chocolate. Yes, this is the luscious dark milk chocolate I’ve been raving about for a couple of years now—it’s Omanhene chocolate and they do make candy-bar type chocolate and other products. One may browse and buy their goodies online.

Now, what does all this stuff look like when I’m done with it? Peek behind the curtain to see how I decorated each flavor ...

This is the best photo I took, but some crucial details are missing, so below the photo is a text guide, so that those who’ve ordered truffles can tell what each flavor looks like.

Sadly, the prettiest truffles look the most unremarkable in this picture. I used green cocoa “paint” on both the mint julep and key lime truffles, but it’s barely discernible above. Oh well. The center truffle, the only white chocolate one, is piña colada. The rest of the flavors are as follows, beginning at the top of the circle and proceeding clockwise:
Green-painted heart: mint julep
Green-topped swirl: key lime
Undecorated heart: Inca gold
White-topped swirl: white Russian
Red-dusted heart: raspberry cordial
White-dusted swirl: tortuga

I will be accepting orders for caramels and truffles (but will be replacing the tortuga flavor with another one—either lemon–ginger or pineapple–macadamia) through March 16. As always, the ordering page has all the information you need; and as always, you can also get to it by clicking on the “Sunni’s caramels” snake at the top of the right sidebar.
