Anybody a candy maker? I have trouble with my chocolate candy or truffles "blooming" sometimes. I know it probably has something to do with my tempering, but can't seem to get it right on a consistent basis. What is the secret?
Just as an aside: I've had to really cut back on all the baking as it became detrimental to my health...can you say 35-lb weight gain!?!  LOL I'm in the process of switching to another hobby...one that is not so fattening. My husband just shakes his head.  But I digress.....  |
MERCY! I don't know what Blooming or tempering mean as related to the kitchen. I did so want to have you over for vittles too.
