Laura ,OMG!!!Your Killing me here !! That must of been what was shooting out at me when I opened my email! I thought it was some sort of new virus! So I swept them up and tossed them in the trash No wonder my house smells like choc !
Nice of you to share though
Ummmm...Will I find those recipes in my New choc book or Should I beg for them Or are they posted somewhere ?????

[/i]now just relax fiddlesticks.. you have both of those recipes right at your fingertips; they are in Autumn's candy book.. The lighter whipped truffles; not the heavy ganache ones... If you have trouble locating them just let me know, and I will look them up....

Yahoooooooooooo!!! I have only had a chance to kind of skim through it so far. Is this a recipe that you are just trying or a fav ??

So now I'm off to the liquor store to buy bourbon. Seriously, you guys, you have to stop this! My jeans aren't fitting as it is!!!

Thanks Laura ! Have a good night, catch ya later!

Hey there fiddlesticks! I am making handdipped chocolate truffles today for a Halloween party...... and they are hard to resist... [/quote]




can you share the recipe or is it on here some where already?

I have a chocolate question.....

Does anyone know how to make sipping chocolate? It's not hot chocolate or hershey's syrup. I asked the local shop I get it from and they said it is a slightly altered ganache mixed with cream and heated up....I would love to have this recipe. They add things like chili, raspberry, lavendar, etc.

I know it is not molded chocolate, but truly it is YUMMY!

I've made my own version of sipping chocolate with coconut milk and mexican chocolate. YUM! I have no idea if this is what your looking for, but I make it this way:
heat up your cream/milk/fat and when its scalding, poor it over your chocolate. Let it sit for 2 mins. Give it a stir and add flavorings to taste. It's just like a ganache, but with way more liquid.

I just watched Alton's "Puff the magic Mallow" Very helpful info on homemade marsh mellows and a way to use chips without loosing the temper. He put chip in a glass bowl, then put a heating pad in the big metal bowl. Then he said to place the chocolate bowl over the heating pad and melt to not above 98 degrees.

I have never heard of sipping chocolate, But It sounds yummy!

I think sipping chocolate is mostly a european thing. It is almost like liquid ganache....which I guess it probably is...but thick. Not like what you pour over cakes, not quite as what you roll to make truffles.

I think I will do some research. I can't do anything since the inside of my house is being painted. Guess I will jsut sit my tookus on the couch and play on the internet. Oh and FREEZE because the doors are open. Better than me doing the painting though, i can tEll ya that!

This explains it pretty well, but I am not sure about the recipe.

CakesbyLJ- BLECH! No wonder you never got into that. Choc sauce over egss and biscuits. Ick. Gimme some sausgae gravy thank you very much.

At hershey onetime we ate at the hershey cafe and I hat chocolate steak. Bascially a steak with chocolate gravy. It was gross.

I do however like cinncinati chili with choc in it....

Thanks for the recipes..... Perhaps I will experiment now that I have a craving.

Chocolate gravy rocks!!! I use to eat it over biscuits or just by itself over at my mamaw's and papaw's house. My family is from the south so this is just another staple for us on the table. Over eggs though, blah! I've never seen anyone eat it over eggs...that just sounds nasty.

Thanks for posting all of these recipes everyone. My saved files are increasing in number

I've never heard of sipping chocolate. My DH's family is from Germany and Poland. They must have been holding it out on me Just kidding, I don't think they've ever had it either.
I'll make some this weekend. It sounds good.
I'll put some chili spice in mine or chai spice.

There is a Victorian Tea House not far from me that serves lunch and high tea every day, and brunch on the weekends... chocolate gravy is on their menu for brunch, and they have a line out the door all the time.. amazing, how we all differ about tastes..... that what makes the world go round...
ok, back to my truffle making....

Just have to keep talking about those truffles dont ya LAURE ! Go ahead rub it in ! LOL!!!

hmm, i am like fourth generation georgia and I have never heard of choclate gravy....I can see the uses on bisuits but I have to agree on the eggs.

Soon as the kitchen is dry, i am making some drinking chocolate.

I have a recipe for sipping chocolate from Better Homes and Garden Christmas cookies edition...


4Cups half & half or whole milk
3 to 4 oz semi-sweet choc. chopped
3 to 4 oz bittersweet choc. chopped
1 TBSP dark corn syrup
Grated bittersweet choc.

In a 2 quart heavy saucepan, combine half&half, SS choc. and BS choc. Stir in corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat until choc is melted and mixture is smooth. Serve in warm latte mugs or bowls. If desired, sprinkle with grated choc. Makes 8 (4oz) servings.

Not sure if this is what you where thinking of, but does sound delicious!!

Well Laura, I'm goimg to have to got out and buy that book.
