This review is from: Truffles: 50 Deliciously Decadent Homemade Chocolate Treats (50 Series) (Hardcover)

I have tried 4 of the recipes in the book so far and they were all amazing. I made hundreds of truffles during the holidays to give away as gifts. All of the recipes are really easy and the book gives a number of tips to help the first timers (which I was when I got the book). Make sure you try the cappuccino truffles (p.78) they were a huge hit!

This book popped up as an Amazon suggestion when I was purchasing another book on chocolate making. It was a delightful surprise! I am an experienced chocolate maker and found the ideas and variations in this book useful for both a novice and experienced chef. It is attractively put together with good photos and clear instructions.
