Wow, okay, I waited awhile between posts!
I have been busy in the kitchen practicing profiteroles, pot de creme and french macarons. I also spent 2 weeks catching up after mother's day, but today I finally played. Experimented with flavors, one of the joys of my job! So, today was melt-a-ways. I had made peanut butter melt-a-ways, and was thinking of another kind. We have tried hazelnut and pistachio before. I didn't want to use another nut, so I did a Vietnamese cinnamon, cayenne and white pepper dark chocolate melt-a-way. Oh my goodness! I finally remembered to write down what I was doing (I have a habit of forgetting what I did, and the next batch isn't quite the same). I didn't have a picture of the new melt-a-way, but I have one of the PB melt-a-way. Right now it is a limited time only, but if it is popular, it will be a staple!

Stop and smell the roses
Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses. Farris Bueller said it best: "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." We have been so caught up in making truffles and the such, we had to take a moment.
