For anyone who didn't know my grandma, she was an incredible cook. And I have taken the task upon myself to type up her recipes. It has been slow going, and I thought perhaps one way to make it a little more fun is to share one of her recipes each day as I am typing them up. Trust me, these are worth keeping track of! You are also very lucky because today I am starting the "Candy" section of her recipe box, and that was her specialty! I should probably save these for Christmas, and perhaps if I am feeling generous I will post more as we near the Christmas season, but for today, here is a recipe for Grandma's truffles...my personal favorite candy (they taste a lot like Mrs. Cavanaugh's Mindy Mints). They are simple (just a mint chocolate ganache dipped in more chocolate), but delicious!
Truffles
1/2 pint whipping cream, warmed
1 1/2 pounds high quality dipping chocolate
5 drops mint oil
Pour warm cream into chocolate and beat with mixer until chocolate is entirely melted. Let cool completely. Cut into squares and dip in tempered chocolate.

Heather - Keep the recipes coming!!! What a special thing to remember your grandmother. I got one recipe from her - razzleberry pie. It had this really unique crust and the filling was divine. Thanks for posting these.
Hey, Thanks for stopping by my blog! How fun to reconnect. So, obviously I stopped by yours...and I definately want to make these! I would love to make your grandmother's razzleberry pie, too. Do you have that recipe?
Your children are stunningly beautiful!
