so here is my story about "fudge truffles".... despite the fact that i am fairly accomplished in the kitchen when it comes to all things sweet, i have never been able to make classic fudge... i let the mixture cool to 110 degrees and beat until it starts to lose it's gloss... well, except the "starts to lose it's gloss" part... i always overbeat and i wind up with hardend fudge in my pot... so first time this happened, not wanting to waste what was otherwise good fudge, i scraped the chunks and shards of fudge onto the countertop. i now had a formless and crude looking pile of yummy fudge, so i decided to knead it all together... much to my amazement, kneading the fudge pile turned the fudge into this amazingly smooth and silky candy...absolutely melt in your mouth... so i rolled this fudge "clay" into little balls and declared them truffles... no one could believe that they were a "failed" batch of fudge... definitely my favorite kitchen "mishap" :0) YOU ROCK girl!
