    Just found your channel recently. It was the how to make cream of anything soup video. I subscribed immediately. You are so resourceful and kind. This helps people save a ton of money on prepackaged stuff and homemade vs factory made is always better. I was so lucky to have a dear mom that always cooked from scratch and I learned from her. I was peeling and cutting veggies and fruits when I was really little (I mean little, like 5 years old, my Mom let me learn how to peel apples, carrots, crack eggs)The kitchen was and is my favorite, happy place to be. You would not believe how good my house smells right now. I roasted a bunch of veggies, low and slow, then put it in a pot to simmer and extract all the goodness into vegetable broth(to make vegetarian gravy later) now my sourdough loaves are in the oven❤. Thank you for reminding me of my Mama, lol, even though you're young enough to be my daughter. I love listening to praise and worship music when I work in the kitchen ❤❤

    Those all look delicious. I prefer using 2 forks with the chocolate dipping. That plastic fork looked the best 😊👍

    Savory or sweet, we don't care, give us all the Christmas goodies.😅 I am team chocolate and no sprinkles but all of these look so cute. I'll be trying the brownie ones. I usually buy store brand chocolate also or which ever I find on sale. Thanks for sharing.

    Your video could not have come at the best time. Your video just popped up on my feed & I am SUBSCRIBED.
    Thank you so much for giving us different truffles than just choco chocolate. This has truly inspired me! Seriously...now that you taught me the basics...I'm thinking of using lady fingers, maybe incorporate espresso powder & cinnamon into the cream cheese to make Tiramisu truffles.
    God Bless You 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

    I added a tablespoon of shortening to my milk chocolate chips when I melted them for dipping and it gave the coating a nice smooth, shiny appearance.

    I will be msking them for Christmas. So easy. Thanks. For the Grich one you could just throw some green food coloring into the white chocolate. That is easier then looking for green chocolate

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  Месяц назад

      Awesome! You can do the food coloring, but sometimes it will cause the chocolate to seize if you don’t do it correctly with the right food coloring, so green wafers always work for me lol😁

    • @daniellestolys6951
      @daniellestolys6951 Месяц назад +1

      Your best bet would be to use powder or gel colouring. Liquid would thin it out too much and gel might make it seize

    There goes my diet again! LOL I make similar truffles using a chocolate coated sandwich cookie we have here called Timtams. They have a milk choc coating on the outside, chocolate cookies and a chocolate creme filling in the middle. If you can ever get your hands on some of those, turn them into truffles with the cream cheese. SO DELICIOUS! If international postage wasn't so downright disrespectful I'd offer to send you some lol

    So cute and easy! Now, I do taste a difference in chocolate but that’s just me. But I’m not gonna say no if I’m given a cute truffle no matter what chocolate is used! 😂 It only means I’d probably buy the other kind if I’m making them. Thanks for sharing!!

    I'm going to try the Snickerdoodle Truffles, but I'm going to use melted Cinnamon Chips for the coating. (hope they don't end up too cinnamon-y, though I don't really think that's possible)
    Thanks for sharing these recipes and ideas!
    (I'm giving these to neighbors, so I may try vanilla or cream cheese frosting instead of the cream cheese since I won't know if they'll have room to store them in the fridge...just to be on the safe side)

    Coconut oil is better to use. It will firm up. Will be trying these. You could add peppermint extract to the brownies and sprinkle with crushed candy cane

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  Месяц назад

      Thanks! Coconut oil does work great, but I use such a small amount of olive oil, that I never have issues with it firming up. I love the crushed candy cane idea 😁

      My son got married in January and they did a cookie bar instead of wedding cake. It was like four of their all time favorite bars/cookies/truffles. HUGE hit. My daughter in law just didn’t want all the fuss that cake brings and we still get so many compliments on how sweet, easy and relaxed the wedding was which allowed everyone to have fun!!
