Nestle's sometimes turns a bit gritty.

******************
I've had that problem with it. These truffles are coated so
they can be very soft. I mix 1/3 cup cream per 8 liquid oz
chips, add butter, and then orange curacao and orange
extract. I'll admit it still doesn't come out smooth as a
baby's butt, but it's not bad.

I found Lindt's in town but it looked like candy bars and
truffles rather than something I could cook with.

I know it's too late now, but Central Market carries
the Lindt's in plain bars. :-) 'course that's in Austin.

Dove is usually quite smooth!
A good thing to do with those is to stock up
during the candy holidays! G I think tho'
that dove miniatures are available in some
grocery store candy sections?


Thanks for the suggestions!

Welcome! And best of luck at the contest...

Nestle's is not really all THAT bad.
(I personally prefer it to Godiva and
I think Godiva chocolate is _seriously_
over-rated!!!).

Mom used to use the Nestle's chips melted on top
of her pecan toffee. She would then top the
melted chocolate with more ground pecans....

It's just that I eat so little chocolate anymore,
(chronic dieter that I am sigh) I go ahead
and spring for the more expensive stuff!
