TWO-STEP TRUFFLES
These will be the easiest truffles you've ever made and they are sooo yummy! They are a tradition at my house for Christmas and we coat them in pink-tinted white chocolate for my daughter's birthday. You can shape them like eggs for Easter and dip them in dyed white chocolate or roll them in colored sugar. You can add different flavorings, different coatings, substitute milk, dark or white chocolate... the variations are endless. No matter how you finish these, they will taste great! The original recipe came from one of the chocolate companies several years ago but I can't remember which one.

Steps:
- Place chopped chocolate in a bowl. Slowly bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Cover and chill.
- Using a melon baller, scoop into 2 teaspoon sized balls. Smooth them out a little by hand. Serve as is or roll or dip in your choice of coatings.
- Try not to eat too many of these while you're making them or there won't be any left for the party! We have lots of fun rolling these in all different things and sampling the results as we go. The kids have a ball doing this. I usually set up 6 or 8 little bowls of things in advance. I always make a double batch that way my family can enjoy taste testing and I still have enough for the party!

HEAVENLY BATH TRUFFLES
"Shower people" don't know what they are missing with this little goodie!! A "kissing cousin" to the bath bomb, these truffles are basically melted cocoa butter mixed with other ingredients that has been solidified back into nice little shapes. These truffles were one of my biggest sellers when I had a toiletry business and are probably one of my absolute favorite "bath stuff". My customers would come back to me and say that they no longer had to use candles to scent their bathrooms, when they had these little truffles!!!! Detailed instructions are included with possible scent blends to choose from. Conversion of gram to ounce: 1 ounce = 28.4 g

Steps:
- Whisk together the baking soda, citric acid and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Melt cocoa butter in microwave in a glass container for approximately 3 minutes (be careful when removing from oven as glass is hot). Add dry ingredients to melted cocoa butter. Add essential oils. Mix again.
- With a spatula, place some mixture into ice cube trays or small molds -- re-mixing after every 3 or 4th time. Clean edges, then place in freezer for 30 minutes. Pop truffles out of tray (may need to thaw a bit if they are not coming out easily).
- Store in glass jars or plastic bags. Excellent for gifts.
- Note: The molds you choose won't matter like they do for bath bombs. But -- don't make the molds too big or you are are going to waste product and your bath will be a slippery mess! Baking soda does not reheat so make sure to have enough trays to use. I found ice cube trays that are shaped like little half balls. You don't want any more than 1 - 1-1/2 tsp of product per cube. I have found that Ikea sometimes has really cute ice cube trays shaped in stars, hearts and circles with holes in the middle. Or, if you can get your hands on them -- candy molds would work very well -- again, depending on the size.
- My Favorite scent combinations: Equal parts of Sandlewood and Patchouli (Sensual) Equal parts of Orange, Geranium, Patchouli (Relaxing), Equal parts of Tea Tree and Peppermint (Uplifting) My first two are my favorites!
