2013 new Christmas Candy: Bacon Maple Truffles!
Two years ago, I experimented with chocolate covered bacon:
http://oi52.tinypic.com/2edb4f6.jpg 4 of my 6 test strips didn't last the day! YUM!!! So this year I'm making Bacon Maple Truffles! 3# chopped dark chocolate 1.5 lbs bacon, fried crispy, drained and crumbled 1 cup 40% cream 1/2 cup maple syrup May need more cream or maple(?) as the ganache was very stiff. Not easily pourable like pure chocolate ganache. Mixed the cream, maple syrup and crumbled bacon and brought to a boil, just, then dumped in the chocolate and stirred stirred stirred. Much thicker than a pure chocolate+cream ganache, we'll see how it works out. Bacon is meat candy! :-) John Kuthe... |

I'm afraid I'm going to have to remelt and add cream to the Bacon Maple Truffle ganache. It's WAY to stiff as is to work into dippable pieces. John Kuthe... |

Well, one thiong I learned right away as the gamache set up, THIS STUFF IS TOO STIFF TO WORK! So I broke it up and put it in a bowl with 1/2 cup of cream and warmed in the microwave. Mixed well and put in a tray to cool. This should be workable. John Kuthe... |
