We all have food cravings. Sometimes, it’s for something super salty, sometimes super sweet: whatever is going on biologically doesn’t concern me, it’s how you best manage your craving to do the least amount of damage to your waistline, and still feel satisfied.
For me, it’s all about the chocolate. And with Valentine’s Day coming up, there’s nothing I’m more excited to do that bake some delicious desserts for me and my loved one. My favorite website for delicious, decadent desserts is Williams-Sonoma’s recipe site. They have some outrageous recipes and never cut corners, which can be a good and bad 
thing.
If you want to go more basic, though, you can always make chocolate truffles with this simple recipe from Essortment.com: All you need is eight ounces semi-sweet chocolate, three-fourths cups of heavy whipping cream, one-half of a stick of unsalted butter, one-half of a cup of cocoa powder (or as much as needed to coat truffles), and optional fillings. Check out the rest of the recipe for more detailed instructions.
Beyond the recipe and the ingredients, you need the machinery to make the chocolate! Fondue pots are perfect for melting chocolate without burning it. To make the bite-sized chocolate truffles, you are going to need a melon baller.
