Candy is wonderful, but when it's especially delicious, you're probably eating champagne truffles. These creamy, delectable delights are usually made with light or dark chocolate, but there are special flavors, too. Champagne, of course, is another ingredient. Whatever is used in the rest of the recipe won't change the fact that it is a mouthwatering treat.
Variety recipes include a splash of cognac or a twirl in some confectioner's sugar. That sugar-dusting will add a fresh dash of sweetness, and it gives the candies a special, snowy appearance. However, if you're looking for a jazzy swoop, choose a hand-dipped variety.
Imagine the seductive factor of these truffles. Show up at her door with a box of elegant candy, a single, perfect red rose, and a bottle of bubbly. She just might start thinking of you as more than a friend.
Or, consider the celebration of an anniversary. The most special candy can show her how well you recognize her sweetness. There are a variety of gift sizes, ranging from a small golden box with two treats to a colorful, ribbon-wrapped package of nine. Or, make a statement with a large box of mixed dark and milk chocolate.
Stop by a local specialty shop or browse online. These treats are exquisite enough to add sophistication to just about any gift. Keep them around to share during the holidays, or present them as a birthday present. They're also perfect for Mother's Day, or if your father has a sweet tooth, Father's Day. Then again, it may be a day to celebrate yourself.
If you have never tried champagne truffles, you are in for a decadent surprise. However, you might need to taste a second in order to be certain. A third taste could be the deciding factor. If it comes to a point where you just can't resist another bite, that means you truly understand. With a candy this delicious, it's hard to get enough.
