Truffles

Caroline has always been an early bird. She wakes up, comes into our room to let us know she's awake and usually goes to watch TV until we get out of bed. The other day at breakfast she announced that she knew how to make truffles. huh?! She told us while we were still sleeping she watched "5 Ingedient Fix" on the Food Network and that she wanted to make some truffles. Dave didn't believe her so he said, "Ok, then how do you make truffles?" She proceeded to tell us how to melt chocolate, add heavy cream, chill in the refrigerator, roll into balls, chill again, then roll into toppings to make delicious chocolate truffles! We were so surprised! I can't believe she actually watched a cooking show by herself and paid enough attention to it to remember the recipe! So what else could I do but take her to the grocery store and buy stuff to make truffles!

We made milk and white chocolate truffles rolled in cocoa, coconut flakes, and (Caroline's favorite) jimmies!
What a cool kid I have. And if one of her favorite activities happens to be making chocolately treats, who am I to stop her?! :)
