Sina's Georgia-Style Boiled Peanuts Recipe. Infusing sugar. June 9, 2011 | Sweet Recipes | Comments I love the idea of infusing sugar!
The wonderful uses of infused sugars are endless. You can use the citrus or lavender sugar in a poundcake or sugar cookie recipe to add a hint of flavor or simply place a teaspoon in your coffee (think espresso bean-infused!) Or when mixing a cocktail. It can also be used to garnish the glass rim of some fresh squeezed lemonade or another delicious drink! Supplies. Tasteologie. Truffle Hot Chocolate Balls {Sugar Rush #2} I love me some hot chocolate.
In a big, obsessive way. I love the stuff and may or may not be known to enjoy it year round. If someone happened to give me truffle hot chocolate balls as a Christmas gift? Well, I’d seriously consider leaving my entire inheritance to them. (The fact that it consists of legos and wooden spoons is an inconsequential matter, I’d say.) These truffled balls are a combination of divine chocolate and silky cream. Just in case you might benefit from someone’s valuable inheritance, like mine, I wanted to pass this recipe on for rich, decadent hot chocolate balls that make a wonderful holiday gift (or to hoard and devour yourself).

Growing up, my mom would buy those caramel apple kits from the grocery store. The kits came with those flat sheets of caramel that we had to stretch and wrap around an apple with a popsicle stick stuck in it. Then we'd heat them in the oven, while waiting in anticipation for them to be ready to bite into.
