5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, January 9, 2007
By Dianaf99 (Indiana, PA) - See all my reviews
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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Truffles Did Not Solidify, December 24, 2007
I made two types of truffles with added liqueurs and neither solidified. Researching what went wrong, I found that, when adding liquid to a truffle cream, it's necessary to add a certain amount of butter, in order to replace the butterfat that would have been present had the liquid ingredient been cream. This seems like pretty common knowledge, so I'm not sure why her recipes with added liquids do not call for the addition of butter. I just wasted a pound of good chocolate (as well as other ingredients) and now have nothing to give away as holiday gifts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea book, July 30, 2007
By Todd M. Thalimer (Elizabeth, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got Dede's book to get ideas since I am making truffles as favors for my wedding. There are tons of great ideas for flavor combinations in this book from the ultra simple to some more difficult ones. I also loved some of the presentations. So much so that I emailed Dede directly and she went as far as talking to her photographer for me to get information about some of the things used in the photos. Good standard candy book to have around!
