Mexican Chocolate Cinnamon Muffins

Well, it's the day after Thanksgiving. No! I did not go shopping. It's insane out there. People were actually camping out infront of the stores overnight to be the first in line to buy whatever it is they were going to buy. I just don't get it. But, that's me. I'll cook and crochet and make whatever comes to mind. If I happen to see something that I absolutely have to have for someone maybe I'll get and then again, maybe I won't. This commercialism is starting to get to me.

So, today, Bob's watching football and basketball. He's got that mighty remote in his hands and switching back and forth between games. I'm watching some old movies on the boob tube, my crocheting basket next to me and I'm sipping some hot peppermint tea and having some muffins. I'm still too full from yesterdays meal to have a full course. Life is nice and peaceful right now.

So, I wanted to share the muffins I made with you and ask you to relax. Sit back and enjoy these holidays. Stop and smell the roses...or the chocolate. Big hugs from me to you.
Mexican Chocolate Cinnamon Muffins

1 package plain devil's food cake mix
1 package (3.9 ounce) chocolate instant pudding mix
1 cup (8 ounce) sour cream
½ cup water
½ cup oil
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped Mexican Chocolate
1 cup pecan pieces

Preheat oven to 350°. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners, set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, water, oil, and eggs. Blend with a mixer on low for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down sides again. Fold in the chocolate and pecans into the batter. Spoon batter into lined muffin cups to ¾ of the way full. Bake for 23 to 27 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Carefully remove muffins from pans and allow to cool completely on wire rack.

My First Truffles


Make Your Own Truffles

If you missed out on the free truffle offer, no problem. Make your own. They are really super easy to make. They’re great stocking stuffers, gifts for neighbors and friends, and party favors for your holiday gathering.

One (or a couple) of simple plastic molds, some chocolate, cream, flavoring, patience and imagination will have you turning out truffles in no time. You can find molds at the craft store or online. They run about 2 dollars or less a piece. I strongly recommend you get a couple of the 12-count truffle molds. You can make one in chocolate and one in white chocolate. You can use regular baking chocolate or you can use the packaged candy wafers. Use whatever is easiest and most comfortable for you. Whatever you do, just put your heart into it. People will love and appreciate it. Make it from the heart not the wallet.

Here are 4 recipes for homemade truffles that you can make in a snap. Now, I like to use molds because I don’t make very good hand rolled truffles. It just seems easier for me. But you can make the filling, chill it, scoop up some chilled ganache filling with a small melon baller and dip in the chocolate cover or nuts or cocoa or anything you can think of.

The four recipes I want to share with you are:

Hot and Spicy Chocolate Truffles
Candy Cane Peppermint Truffles
Amaretto Truffles
Kahlua Truffles

Two are covered in dark chocolate and two are covered in white chocolate. Mix and match to give away. I made the Candy Cane Peppermint Truffles and the Hot and Spicy Truffles. Experiment. Find flavors that you, your family and friends would enjoy. Then just have FUN making them.

Hot and Spicy Chocolate Truffles

Enrobing truffle chocolate
1-pound dark or bittersweet chocolate

Ganache (filling)
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper powder
Habanero Sea Salt, for garnish, optional

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until just boiling (stir to keep from burning).
Take cream off the stove, add chocolate and let it sit for 2min.
Stir chocolate and cream together. If the chocolate is not completely melted, return the saucepan to the stove over low heat and stir until melted.
Add cayenne pepper and stir.
Transfer to a pastry bag.
Allow the filling to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
When it is ready to use, remove from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before use.

Directions:
Melt your enrobing chocolate. Fill the cavities of your chocolate molds, swirling around to make sure all crevices are filled. Tap mold on counter to remove any air bubbles. Turn mold over melted chocolate container to remove excess chocolate. Scrape the mold around the cavities to remove any remaining excess. Allow chocolate to harden 4 to 5 minutes. If time is an issue, place mold in refrigerator to speed the process.

Fill each cavity with your prepared ganache filling. If you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, remember to allow the filling to come to room temperature. Leave a 1/8 inch space to fill with more melted chocolate to seal the truffle. Scrape off any excess.

Chill in the refrigerator 5 to 6 minutes until the chocolate pulls away from the mold and the truffle has set.

Turn the mold over onto a plate or cutting board. Tap the mold lightly and the truffles should release. If you are adding a garnish topping, swirl a bit of the melted chocolate on top of the candy piece and add whatever garnish you desire. What I did with the Hot and Spicy Chocolate Truffles is I sprinkled some of the Habanero Sea Salt on the melted chocolate. I love the taste of sweet and salty in these truffles. They are now ready for packaging.

Candy Cane Peppermint Truffles

Enrobing Chocolate
1 pound white chocolate

Ganache (filling)
1-pound bittersweet chocolate
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons dark rum

Garnish
1/2 pound candy canes or peppermint candy, crushed

Directions
Melt the white chocolate and prepare your truffle molds as before.

Melt bittersweet chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water or in a microwave oven. Let cool. Melt butter; cool. Pour cooled butter into bowl of electric mixer and slowly add evaporated milk. Add cooled chocolate and rum. Pour into a pastry bag as before and allow to set up, about 1 hour.

Fill truffle mold cavities. Scrape excess and leave a 1/8 inch headspace. Cover with melted white chocolate to seal. Allow to set.

Crush candy and spread on a piece of waxed paper. After truffles are done, pipe a bit of melted white chocolate to top of truffle and sprinkle with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.

Amaretto Truffles

Enrobing Truffle Chocolate
1-pound White chocolate or Wedding White Candy Wafers (Wilton)

Ganache (filling)
8 oz. dark sweet or white chocolate
3/4 c. heavy cream
1 1/4 tbsp. Amaretto
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Prepare your enrobing chocolate the same as for the Hot and spicy Truffles. Allow to set.
Simmer cream in saucepan. Place chopped chocolate in a mixing bowl. Add hot cream to chocolate and gently whisk to melt chocolate. Add Amaretto and almonds. Pour mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a large open tip and refrigerate until cooled but not hard. A couple of minutes should do it.

Fill prepared mold cavities with ganache, scraping excess and leaving a 1/8 inch headspace. Cover ganache with extra melted white chocolate to seal truffle. Allow to set as in previous instructions. Remove molded truffles and package.

Kahlua Truffles

Enrobing Chocolate
1-pound bittersweet chocolate

Ganache (filling)
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small chunks1/2-cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons Kahlua

Garnish, if desired
Espresso Flavored Sea Salt

Prepare molds as instructed with your bittersweet chocolate.

Filling:
Place the chocolate in a metal bowl. Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the Kahlua. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about three hours.

Fill the molds as per previous instructions. Seal with melted bittersweet chocolate. Allow to set. Remove truffles from mold. Dot the top of each truffle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with Espresso Sea Salt if desired.

And there you go. Seems like a lot, but it really isn’t. Once you get into the groove, you move right along and finish quickly. Prepare and plan to save yourself some time. Make one different truffle recipe each day, or plan on one day of truffle making. It’s a great recipe to enjoy making with your children or friends. This is one of those memory-making times that you will enjoy reminiscing about in years to come. Enjoy.

Cupcakes and Chocolate You Don’t Want to Eat

I know I said I would do the homemade truffles today, but I’m going to wait one more day. Late yesterday afternoon, the mailman delivered a greatly anticipated package I’d been waiting for from Nazarina at Giddy Gastronome. Last week I went onto her site because I absolutely love her artistic and creative design in everything she does: food and soaps. I had to contact her and tell her “I want some of those for my girls.” I could envision her giggling when she responded with “No problem.”

Look at this. Aren’t they the most adorable things you ever saw? The cupcake soaps smell of chocolate and raspberries. Nazarina not only did a great job in sending me the soaps I had ordered from her, but she included a surprise just for me. She added a bar of chocolate soap. She included it with a note saying, “I know how much you love chocolate, but you better not try eating this one! LOL.” It looks and smells like chocolate! Bob was getting a little worried about me sitting there for an hour just smelling soap. It was heavenly.

They are absolutely perfect stocking stuffers.

Here’s one that my daughter Lily wanted. It’s called H2O Required. It smells divine.

And of course, I had to order one just for me. The Asian Energizer. The aroma of Eucalyptus just filled the air as I opened the package.

I ask that you visit Nazarina at Giddy Gastronome for a look at some of the amazing work she does. Even her food posts are always beautifully and artistically arranged and designed. Such a talented young woman. You rock, Nazarina.

After celebrating the reception of my wonderful soaps, I got on the computer and had a note for me to visit her blog. Lord Almighty! She’s given baby chocolate blog 7 awards. I was totally speechless. These seven awards are:



This award now goes to: Michele at Life, Lightly Salted











This award now goes to: Nikki at Nik Snacks







This award goes to: Goes to Adam at Baking with Dynamite









This award goes to: Gloria at Cookbook Cuisine






Goes to Jenn at The Left Over Queen








Goes to Ben at What’s cooking?










Goes to Prudence at the Glass Slipper Cakery





Now I can think about my truffles! Abrazos y besos a todos!

Tea and Crumpets

I’m feeling very British right now, well maybe not. I actually didn’t make crumpets, but I did make these delicious Espresso Chocolate Chip Scones I found on Megan’s Munchies blog. I like Megan’s blog. The cool part, they are LOW-FAT! With all the eating I anticipate doing over the next couple of months, I gladly welcomed Megan’s recipe. Thanks Meg. You are one cool lady. You and Adam are doing a great job of keeping a watch over us foodies here and making sure that we don’t overindulge.

Of course I couldn’t just eat this delicious scone. I had to drink something with it. Hot Chocolate? Well, normally it would have been a given. But then I realized I would be defeating the purpose of eating this scrumptious low-fat scone. So I pulled out a box of CHOCOLATE tea I had been saving for the right moment. I couldn’t think of a better time than now.

I found this curious Mayan Cocoa Spice Tea at the Organic shop awhile back. It’s by Yogi Tea. The tea mix itself is comprised of cinnamon bark, chicory root, cardamom seed, ginger root, clove bud and black pepper. The chocolate part comes in the form of cocoa shells, chocolate and cocoa flavor, and cocoa powder. It was worth a shot, I bought a box. I set my teapot to boil and brewed up a cup. The minute I pour the boiling water over the teabag, the aroma just filled the air. I knew I was going to like this.

It’s been a week of reflection, transition and adjustment for me. So what better time than this to indulge in something so decadent yet so sensible. Go to Megan’s Munchies and check out her blog. You won’t be disappointed. She is a lovely lady. So for the rest of today, I bid you adieu. I’ll finish up the Tamales presentation on the Mexican American Border Cooking blog tomorrow. And I’m thinking…homemade Truffles for baby chocolate blog next time around. Big hugs to all.

Espresso Chocolate Chip Scones

2/3 cup quick oats
1/3 cup Reduced Fat Bisquick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp instant espresso powder (use more if stronger taste is desired)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Mix all the ingredients. Pour into a pie plate and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.

Mexican Chocolate Cream Pie

It's always nice to have choices. While I wouldn't turn down pumpkin or apple pie for Thanksgiving, it's gratifying to know that I can have a slice of CHOCOLATE pie too.

This one is sooooo easy. That's my objective here. To make it simple, delicious, quick and easy for you. NO STRESS!!

Mexican Chocolate Cream Pie

4 ounces Mexican Chocolate, chopped
1/3 cup milk
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 carton (8 ounces) whipped topping, like Cool Whip
1 graham cracker pie crust
Garnish options: whipped cream, chocolate curls, strawberries or raspberries

In a saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate in milk. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside. In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Stir in chocolate mixture. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into graham cracker crust. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Garnish (optional) with additional whipped topping and a dusting of cinnamon. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Use Chocolate Abuelita or Chocolate Ibarra. If you can't find either Mexican chocolate, use German Sweet Chocolate and add cinnamon and a little almond flavoring to it.

If I Could Bake You a Cookie

If I Could Bake You a Cookie…
It would be heart shaped and covered in chocolate. Delicious and sweet, just like you.

If I Could Bake You a Cookie…
It would be diamond shaped. Sparkling with joyous light, just like you.

Shortbread cookies are super easy to make. Basically one recipe two ways. You can make a ton of them starting now, freeze them and then prepare them with the chocolate cover and drizzle right before you’re ready to put them into pretty little boxes to give away for the Holidays. Be sure and keep some for your self though. They are pretty tasty.

Christmas is the perfect time to show displays of affection. It doesn’t have to cost money, or be difficult, or be a burden to show someone you care. All it has to do is be from the heart, a labor of love. Cookies are so perfect to give to people you care about; your kids, your friends, your neighbors, anyone. Spend your time in the kitchen, not your money in a store. Here are a couple of cookie recipes from my heart to yours. If I could bake you a cookie, they would probably be these.

Chocolate Covered Shortbread Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cups powdered sugar
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2cups of flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar together until well combined. Mix in vanilla. Add flour and salt and incorporate well. Wrap in plastic and chill in refrigerator for about a 1-½ hours.

Roll dough between two sheets of waxed or parchment paper. Dip cookie cutter in powdered sugar and cut out shapes. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Melt chocolate with the shortening. When cookies are cooled, dip each one in the chocolate and place on a parchment covered baking sheet and allow chocolate to set.

Cocoa Shortbread Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cups powdered sugar
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate
2 teaspoons shortening

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Prepare dough and bake the same way as with Chocolate Covered Shortbreads but instead of using cookie cutters, cut out diamond shapes.

Melt white chocolate with shortening. Drizzled cooled cookies. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and allow chocolate to set.

If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

FREE CHOCOLATE!

OMG! Can you believe it? Someone's giving away FREE CHOCOLATE! Sure, it's an advertising ploy, but who cares? It's FREE.

Haydee Chocolatier is having a promotional GIVEAWAY. All you have to do is click onto their site, fill in your name and address and they will send you an 8-count sample of their delicious truffles. No shipping and handling charges either. What a bargain. Now, the only sad thing about this is that it is only valid in the US., but hey, if you can get it why not? I found this wonderful offer while surfing through some of my favorite Chocolate Blogs. This particular one is one of my favorites. Heather at Chocolate Bytes, is a blog I check regularly. She finds these amazing Giveaways and Promotions as well as post some pretty good chocolate recipes.

So if you want some FREE chocolate, click on the Haydee Chocolatier site, fill in your information and then wait patiently by your mail box. I am!
********************************************


Meanwhile, here's my giveaway for today. A delicious and easy to prepare Kahlua Cake recipe. There is nothing difficult about this cake other than trying to keep yourself from slicing up another piece to devour.









It starts out with the gorgeous aroma of melting chocolate pieces in the batter, Kahlua (just for you Gloria) and hints of cinnamon and almonds. Ends with a divine flavor that will leave your mouth asking for more.

You can make this as a bundt cake, cupcakes, a loaf, mini-bundts, or even in rounds. Whip up some whip cream flavored with some additional Kahlua (or not) and sit back and enjoy.

I like to make mine in a regular bundt pan with a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top. But I also compromise with my daughter with the flavored whipped cream.

Making this recipe into small loaves or mini bundts, makes a great little gift for neighbors and friends for the holidays. This coming week I'll be putting out some more inexpensive gift giving ideas. Time's running short. And there's nothing that says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, or I Love You, than a gift of CHOCOLATE.

Kahlua Cake

1 box German chocolate cake mix
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
2/3 cup oil
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
½ cup Kahlua
1 bag (12 ounces) chocolate chips or 1 disk of chopped Mexican chocolate
Powdered sugar
Freshly made whipped cream, optional

Mix first six ingredients then add chocolate chips and blend in well. Grease and flour bundt pan. Pour in batter and bake in 350º F. oven for 1 hour. After cake is cooled, sift powdered sugar on top. Top with whipped cream if desired.

FREE RECIPE from Mi Chita's Mexican Chocolate Dessert Ecookbook

Cupcakes with Mexican Chocolate Ganache

1 box cake mix prepared into 24 large cupcakes

Filling:
1 cup whipping cream
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Place chopped chocolate in mixing bowl. Combine whipping cream and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring cream to a boil. Pour over chocolate in bowl. Let this mixture stand briefly and then stir until all chocolate is melted and smooth. Refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, about 1 hour. Beat chocolate mixture with electric beater until fluffy, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Ganache:
8 ounces heavy cream
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 disk Mexican Chocolate, chopped

Bring cream to a boil. Pour hot cream over both chocolates that have been placed in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to melt chocolate. Cool for 30 minutes.

Assembly:
If you used paper baking cups for cupcakes, remove them from cooled cupcakes and turn cakes over (bottom side up) back in the paper cup.
Fill pastry bag fitted with a plain round metal tip with the white chocolate cream. Insert tip about a quarter of the point into the cupcake and squeeze the bag to fill with about a tablespoon of filling into the cupcake.
Cover the cupcake with ganache by spooning carefully over the top. If it doesn't cover completely, it's ok. If you do want complete coverage of the cupcake, you will probably need to make 2 batches of the ganache.

Finish off the cupcake by adding sliced strawberries or whole raspberries on top (or leave plain if you like, maybe a light dusting of powdered sugar is more to your liking).

This recipe and recipes for all the pictures shown (and more) are in the Mi Chita's Mexican Chocolate Ecookbook. The holidays are right around the corner and what better gift can you give to a chocoholic or yourself for the price of a cup of coffee? Hope you enjoy the recipe. There will be more coming weeks.

FACT: Chocolate IS Good For You

I know that during the holiday season a lot of chocolate can be found in every corner of your life. Don’t worry about it. Chocolate, despite what you’ve been taught since you were young, is not bad for you. Yes, if you overindulge, like with any other food or beverage, there will be consequences. Use some restraint and practice moderation. With moderation, you can enjoy all sorts of marvelous things in life.

I wanted you to read what the Department of Agriculture and the Journal of the American Chemical Society had to say about chocolate. I’m providing a couple of links so that you can continue reading all the Facts and Fallacies surrounding this decadent Food of the Gods.
