Special People Deserve Champagne Truffles For A Change

By Roger Reed


Holidays are the perfect excuse to indulge in food and wine. Celebrating your birthday or someone else special days are one of those days that you lavishly spend on expensive gifts. Give a special person something home made to show them how much you care by concocting easy the create chocolate treats.

With our busy schedule in New York City today the difficulty to find the time to look for the perfect gift. But with a basic idea on using cooking utensils and reading a measuring cup the easier the create home made gifts for that special someone. The best and easiest treat to make is champagne truffles, and anyone who loves cocoa and wine will surely give you a five star rating.

So you like this girl or guy but too afraid because of rejection. But if you really want to make a long lasting impression and an immediate yes answer then chocolate gives you this opportunity to do so. It contains at least 300 chemicals that send a person into a happy elated mood.

Two chemicals that make this possible is phenylethylamine or the love drug and tryptophan that trigger serotonin. It is called the love drug because phenylethylamine induces the same arousing feelings of when a person falls in love. While serotonin plays a bigger role with mood especially between happiness and anxiety.

Anandamide, another chemical, stimulates the receptor to produce dopamine. The effects of dopamine feels similar to inhaling cannabis, that is you get high from eating, but the effect is not as strong as the chemical found in marijuana. It relieves stress and pain by producing endorphins in the body.

The benefits of eating in moderation can improve the flow of blood and lowers the blood pressure. It also contains fibre, minerals, and antioxidants. The flavanols in dark chocolate stimulate organs in the body to produce nitric oxide, a gas that functions as a relaxant to the arteries.

It also improves brain function. Cocoa consumed by elderly people who suffer from mental impairment have improve their cognitive function. Now that you know a little more about truffles and time to understand how to make a scrumptious batch of truffle. All you need is heavy cream to give the rich milky taste, finely chopped semisweet Bonbon, champagne and cognac for that alcoholic blow in your mouth.

The procedure is very easy just make sure that you not only have the correct ingredients, but also the right amount because the taste will be altered if it is not correctly done. Take a small sauce pan then put the heat on medium high then pour half of a cup of heavy cream. Once it is hot take it away from the heat then pour it on the cocoa in a heat resistant bowl.

With your choice of dark chocolate hack it into fine pieces then place it inside a heat protected bowl then set aside.Set your stove to medium heat then place a small sauce pan, pour half cup of heavy cream then stir for a bit and wait until it starts to boil or until the sides have formed enough bubbles. Now time to add the champagne and cognac and mix well then remove from the heat and pour it on the chocolate. Mix again then freeze it and take it out after an hour. Using a scoop form some balls then garnish with your choice of powder.
