Speaking of candy...if one were to boil wort (probably unhopped) down far enough, would you end up with taffy, or ribbon candy, or just a burned mess?

This thread is useless without beer!

Figure out how to integrate a little Sweet Stout into those truffles or risk being tagged a lightweight.

Surgeon, ignore these oafs. I make truffles on a fairly regular basis. I think I will give these a try for a reception I have to do in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the idea!

Here is another idea for using truffles. I make a batch of truffles using a melon baller to make balls about the size of Bub's nuts and stick them in the freezer to let them set up good. I then make up some chocolate cake batter and put that into fluted muffin pans and bake until about half cooked. I then poke one of these truffles into the center of each of the cakes and return them to the oven to finish baking. When cool I invert the cakes onto dessert plates on which I have poured a little puddle of ganash. I garnish them with a little powdered sugar and a strawberry fan. I call these my Heart of Darkness Cake.
