I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

White Chocolate Cookie Ball Truffles

Sometimes life gives you happy little accidents!
Ingredients:
4 or 5 oz white chocolate
1/4 - 1/2 tsp butter
5 ladyfinger biscuits

So I was melting white chocolate in a double boiler for drizzling in another recipe. It had just about melted when I decided I wanted it a little more runny. I added room temperature butter and it all seized up! Big mistake... I should have melted the butter so it would be about the same temperature as the chocolate before adding it. And apparently there is no reversing seized white chocolate.

I wasn't about to throw away all the chocolate. But I had these ladyfingers on the shelf in preparation for an upcoming dessert. I just crumbled some of them into the chocolate and rolled the mixture into balls.

Now, unprepared as I was for making truffles, what was I going to roll them in? I had just run out of cocoa (gotta get to Bulk Barn!) I didn't have enough sprinkles (what's wrong with me?!?!) And I was kind of running out of patience so chopping walnuts wasn't going to happen.

I grabbed a bag of homemade granola.
This'll work! Just rolled them up and let them set on parchment in the fridge a few minutes.

This "recipe" only made 12 cookie ball truffles but you could always accidently seize up more white chocolate, LOL!
To quote Bob Ross "we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents!"
