It soun...Bill,<BR/>Kudos to you for your brave attempt! It sounds like Santa needs to add a few kitchen gadgets to his sack. The recipe should have noted that processing is KEY for the oreos to be sufficiently crushed (save the fist for garlic crushing). As for microwaved chocolate; I have learned the same lesson one too many times. I prefer this method: Place a (heat proof) glass bowl over a pot filled with two inches of barely simmering water, being careful not to allow any steam through. Place chocolate in bowl and allow it to melt, stirring frequently. Remove bowl and immediately wipe condensation from bottom (if ANY water or steam gets into melted chocolate it seizes and turns to grainy pebbles). For dipping and rolling, the tongs were a great idea. Two forks or two spoons work well to negotiate chocolate for dipping without coating your hands (although the finger licking is half the fun).<BR/>The best part of making mistakes is you get to eat them.<BR/>Try this recipe again. You won't be sorry!<BR/><BR/>MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849002611461066717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666269446465400907.post-33029936533345270442007-11-28T13:12:00.000-05:002007-11-28T13:12:00.000-05:00Well, I was looking for an easy recipe & this seem...Well, I was looking for an easy recipe & this seemed to fit the bill: 3 ingredients, no baking. What could go wrong?<BR/><BR/>The kitchen is obviously not my domain. I don't keep inventory & know not the tools potentially at my disposal. For starters, there wasn't a food processor or rolling pin. I did take your advise to put the Oreos in a Ziploc bag (about the only good move I made) & proceeded to crush with my fists.<BR/><BR/>Then, it was time for the melting of the chocolate. Unfortunately, the double boiler was MIA also. You advised that a microwave could do the trick. I put the chocolate in a big bowl, did a quick calculus on cooking time, & powered up.<BR/><BR/>After 3 minutes, there was little evidence of melting. I tried for another 3 minutes. This time an acrid smell permeated the error. I opened the 'wave & found that half the chocolate was burnt & the other half was slightly melt. I decided to stir the whole mess & it seemed to be working.<BR/><BR/>I dipped my truffle balls in the molten chocolate & burnt my fingers. Using more brilliance, I decided to sample my handiwork & burnt the roof of my mouth. Finally, I came up with the idea of using ice tongs to dip the truffles.<BR/><BR/>I was content that I had at least finished & put the chocolate-covered creation into the fridge. About 10 minutes later, Sue asked why I had extra Oreo crumbs in a bowl. I yelled "Damn it", pulled the baking sheet out of the fridge & covered the already cooling truffles with my crumbs.<BR/><BR/>The finished product wasn't perfect & there was some burnt chocolate flavoring, but the reviews were still positive.<BR/><BR/>Once again, I have been humbled by my ambition.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546194903100276918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666269446465400907.post-37666790711091225522007-11-24T22:45:00.000-05:002007-11-24T22:45:00.000-05:00I live by the 5 ingredients or less rule in life.....I live by the 5 ingredients or less rule in life...THIS FAR surpassed my expectations, 3 ingredients!!!
