I have to make things last minute so they don't get eaten not so they last. We made 25 gingerbread men today, 5 left! We did have visitors though, and it was nice to bring out some Xmas baking. Ahhh, the joys of teenage nieces and nephews. ]]> Fri, 24 Dec 2010 22:15:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1227281&title=how-long-do-things-last#1227281 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1223847&title=how-long-do-things-last#1223847 Author: caliandjack

You can make cookie / biscuit dough in advance and freeze it. Bake cookies a few days before you intend to give them that's what I'm doing.]]> Sun, 19 Dec 2010 18:02:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1223847&title=how-long-do-things-last#1223847 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1223846&title=how-long-do-things-last#1223846 Author: HoneybunsMa

This is the recipe I use, its really good, but obviuosly just for the grown ups

Truffles:
8 ounces (227 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons alcohol (Cognac, brandy, Grand Marnier, kirsch, rum, bourbon, or Kahlua to name a few) (optional)

Different Coatings for Truffles:
Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder
Confectioners Sugar (Icing or Powdered)
Toasted and Chopped Nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)
Toasted Coconut
Shaved Chocolate

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized stainless steel bowl. Set aside. Heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. If desired, add the liqueur. Cover and place in the refrigerator until the truffle mixture is firm (this will take several hours or overnight).

Place your coatings for the truffles on a plate. Remove the truffle mixture from the refrigerator. With your hands, or else a melon baller or small spoon form the chocolate into round or mis-shaped bite-sized balls. Immediately roll the truffle in the coating and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or tray. Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm. Truffles can be refrigerated for a couple of weeks or else frozen for a couple of months. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Makes 30 small truffles.

To Toast Nuts: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and bake nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds) about 8 - 10 minutes or until brown and fragrant. For hazelnuts toast about 15 minutes or until the skins start to blister. Remove from oven and roll in a clean dish towel. Let the nuts 'steam' for about 5 minutes and then remove the skins. Once the nuts have cooled, chop coarsely.

Truffles should be fine in the fridge. I would just check the cream cheese expiry as obviously you don't want the expiry to be in the next week ]]> Sun, 19 Dec 2010 13:30:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1223683&title=how-long-do-things-last#1223683 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37178&PID=1223637&title=how-long-do-things-last#1223637 Author: Raspberryjam
