Shauna- These were gone in two days at my house. My husband loved them! The cupcakes sound wonderful.

Cindy- Let me know if you get the coconut cream to work in this recipe. I have heard of people making a condensed coconut “milk” before, so maybe it would work.

Slacker Mom- I added the link. Thanks! I need to try an amaretto version of the fudge recipe. Great idea.

Karen- Great job on the new site. I think you will enjoy wordpress.

Sally – Truffles are wonderful anytime. I think you could create a coconut cream recipe.

Sara- Thanks for commenting! I would love to try that recipe. What a great gf party food idea.

Carrie- You can’t go wrong with a basic chocolate ganache!

Deleilan- It was a fun project! My hands were very messy though!

Mary Frances- Thanks so much! I appreciate the compliments! I learned a lot from doing that how-to post. I don’t do them very often so it is good practice for me. I was honored that you posted it.

Kat and Anna- I will have to come visit. Thank you for the kind words.

Natalie, the truffles look awesome. I’m really impressed with your photos, the one above and the ones in the how-to post. They look like they came straight out of a magazine.

Yummmm, truffles!
It definitely doesn’t hurt to have cold hands when it comes to shaping them!

I made some truffles for Christmas with cream cheese, GF oreo type cookies (very easy to find) and some almond bark. You just crumble the cookies and mix with cream cheese and roll into balls. (You may have to refridgerate for a half hour or so) Then melt your almond bark and dip and enjoy. You can use white or milk and reverse for splashing over the top.
I hope you might give them a try. Every one loved them where I took them and would never know they were GF.

I have seen coconut-milk based recipes like this, too. YUM.

Those look really good! I got a book all about making truffles for Christmas, but haven’t tried it yet. I really will have to, since they don’t seem to be as hard as I would have thought.

And I’m glad you like the new blog – although it’s not “official” yet. I’m still working on it’s format and getting all the pages up before I link my blogger page over to the wordpress page. so stay tuned!

These look fabulous!! I bet your husband was psyched to eat these!! Very pretty.

You should also link to your easy fudge recipe, for those who want the easy way for chocolate…I might make it for my hubby (who is working all day into night) to put in his lunch and supper, but use Amaretto instead of the peppermint, and sprinkle almonds in top.

Yum!!

Either way I think I might use one of your recipes.
