Chocolate Truffle Tartlet

Tricia's Turn ~

I never thought I would be unexcited about baking 

something chocolate, yet this TWD hit at a particularly

 busy time........and unexcited I was. 

Leave it to Dorie, however, to hand me a recipe that I ended up

 enjoying from start to finish.  I got a delicious chocolate tart AND 

and attitude adjustment, although for me - those two tend to go

 hand in hand....... regardless of who is doing the cooking :)       

It was a day of much "eating of words" in addition to eating tartlet.

  I planned to short cut as many steps and ingredients as I could to

 "knock this one out", but instead managed to make two separate 

trips to the grocery store and still maintain a smile on my face. 

Little Miss "I am going to microwave that chocolate and butter...." 

instead found it very peaceful and creative to turn those items into 

a glorious chocolate liquid treat and not get any steam 

burns in the process. (I was getting worried with this technique)

This truly was a delight of  recipe from start to finish for me.  

I am certain I will get much distance on that chocolate crust

 alone  and I am already formulating plans to use it

 for other delicious concoctions.

Overall - this was a knock out recipe and I am now even

 more looking forward to this whole TWD adventure.
