Omar Forastero replied to Laurie Douglass's discussion Toffee Trouble in the group Kitchen Confectionery"Laurie you can also try replacing butter with cocoa butter. It won't give you exactly the same result in terms of taste, but will maintain your toffee longer with less margin of error. give it a try, i guess it all depends on the recipe as…"

Toffee Truffle
Pictured above is my Toffee Truffle, available on my website: http://www.laurieschocolates.com The center is milk chocolate, blended with my butter pecan toffee, dipped in bittersweet chocolate and coated with more toffee. Scrumptious!

Toffee Trouble...
Posted on April 27, 2010 at 12:34pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I made my buttercrunch recipe from this book: "Formula and Theory for the Artisan Confectioner" and it's perfect every time. However, the last two batches gave me trouble and I wonder if anyone has advice. When I poured it onto the mat, the butter separated. Any thoughts?
Hot Cocoa Specials

I participated in the Holiday Specials offering a free chocolate bar with any hot cocoa mix ordered. I wanted to extend this offer in some way. If you now visit my website, you will notice I'm offering a free piece of chocolate with any hot cocoa order. It may be a truffle, chocolate bar, a chocolate buckeye, who knows!

Andy Ciordia said… - You sent a message to all of the Kitchen Confection crowd on shipping. I believe if people want products they'll pay for the additional shipping. It's important to warn of not being around when the package is delivered and you need to be shipping in a ≤ 3day window. Other than that we fire off and just do followups to make sure we're still doing right. So far with basic packaging and cold packs we're getting products to their destination "cool".

Gretchen Tartakoff said… - Hi Laurie,
I would like to try a little because I've got a recipe for a brownie truffle I'm going to try and think it might be fun to do a Holiday version with the rouge cocoa.
I'll get in touch.
Thanks and hope all the events are going well. Are you including the Bucks County Chocolate Show in your New Year list of events? I haven't heard yet-hope you will.
