Homemade Chocolate Cinnamon Chilli truffles

Hi Lovers,

So I was in charge of Christmas again (twas a success again even if I do say so myself) and although my main efforts went into the starter and mains I did have some time to whip up these babies on Christmas eve.

I was very popular after plating these up and have had several orders placed by friends and family for the foreseeable future!

INTRODUCING..........

Chocolate Cinnamon Chilli Truffles!

They are rich decadent and incredibly easy to make!

Instructions: 

Prep time 15 mins

Cooking time 25 mins

Creates approx 65 pieces

Ingredients needed:

350g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids)

250g milk chocolate

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 teaspoons of chilli *if you can handle it*

650ml double cream

Dash of Himalayan sea salt

25g of the best cocoa powder you can find

The how to:

Step one: Grease up a shallow baking tray with butter.

Step two: Break up chocolate into small manageable pieces for melting.

Step three: Warm the double cream on a low heat in a heavy bottomed pan and add spices.

Step four: Add the chocolate to the WARM mixture which has been taken off the heat or in a separate bowl. If there are still chunks place the bowl over a pot of heated water.

Step five: Place the mixture into your tray and tap on your work surface to release trapped air. Sprinkle your salt sparingly over the top and chill for at least an hour.

Step six: Sieve your cocoa powder and cut the chocolate into cubes

Step seven: Roll truffles (between your fingers) or leave as squares and toss in cocoa powder.

Step eight: Store in the fridge or freezer and place in a pretty jar for a rustic feel.

P.s store in a really cool place if they survive they day and they should last you up to 1.5 months.

Enjoy

Guys these are so good I honestly can't explain how nice they are! They are easy to customise and as they are so rich 3 is more than enough per person.

I would love to see what you come up with let me know.

Lately ......life #1

Hi Loves, 

I have decided to make this into a little thing I do occasionally. I always snap away at random stuff on My phone to share with my friends and I thought I would share some every once in a while here. Not sure if I will explain each one in the future but we will see.

Enjoy...............

1. Harrods lights- These lights would literally be the beacon from my office window to say, woot woot work day is nearly over, come to the MAC counter on your way home and spend cash yo!
2. Scallops and apricots from The Betsy Smith. I absolutely LOVE the decor in that place it is so cute yet modern and out there.
3. Frugo juices- I am obsessed with that shit right there. Its all natural juices with a few exotic fruits thrown in. Good five a day stuff. FYI Tesco sell their refrigerated ones for 50p and their non refrigerated ones for 40p. HMMMM I know which ones I buy.
4. Peppermint oil- Love it. I use it as a fragrance and part of my deep hair conditioning system. I do like an apothecary bottle too.
5. Thermal mens socks. £1 bargain-that is all
6. Cocktails- You speaky my language.
7. Taking care of my skin a lot more (yay for clear skin) and protecting/ stretching my tresses using the pineapple method. It works and is funny especially when you answer the door like that, looking all types of cray lol
8. Giant muffins -with jam inside. I am gutted I don't know where these are from. I think they are muffin doughnuts/ muffnuts? I got them whilst at work and don't remember the bakery company- wahh so good.
9. Finally a big ass roast dinner. When I roast a chicken I go to TOWN. The most succulent corn fed chicken, roasted potatoes, beautifully glazed parsnips, the best gravy. Its all to much, i need a lie down!

What have you been up to lately other than chrimbo shopping? I have bought 2 presents arrrgghh- really I know. Utter fail lol.

until next time...................

Nose candy (candle love)

Candles are a passion of mine  in stressful times. They soothe me, create ambiance and atmosphere effortlessly . Coley and Gill votive candles are a fav right now. Their spring / summer scented candles are amazingly cheap and smell awesome. Their  packaging is so cute and is a great alternative to fairy lights. I get mine from poundland and they last for a good while. Stay away from their Lime Zest coz that stuff is rank! Like some super strong disinfectant, seriously my eyes were burning ewww.

Another favourite of mine is the Walsh and Baker chocolate fudge cake candle as seen in the middle above. It does exactly what it promises in the title. This candle releases a gorgeous and delightfully chocolaty emanation.

Check them out guys, they are super relaxing and cheap as chips!

P.S don't burn your house down .....yada yada , be safe, be careful, keep away from kids and enjoy etc
