The invention of the cocoa press in 1828 made potential separating the natural fat in cocoa beans, called cocoa butter, from the bean solids. This not only improved the consistency and taste of the remaining cocoa powder but made potential the amelioration of solid chocolate. Eating chocolate or solid chocolate, as opposed to drinking chocolate, was first produced in 1847 in Fry's chocolate facility in Bristol, England. Solid chocolate is a aggregate of cocoa powder, sugar, cocoa butter and often flavorings like vanilla. In 1879 Swiss Henri Nestle and Daniel Peter advanced milk chocolate by combining solid chocolate with milk powder. Experimentation in France and Switzerland led to the amelioration of ganache.
Ganache is the center component of a truffle. Ganache is a velvety flat aggregate of solid semisweet chocolate and cream. Cooked at just the right temperature it cools to form a rich and firm paste with intense chocolate flavor. A truffle is a confectionery made of a round ganache center, often flavored, covered with a shell of milk, dark or white chocolate. Truffles are often covered in cocoa powder, sugar or finely chopped nuts.
Perhaps originating in France, the truffle is named for its visual similarity to the French mushroom-like fungus of the same name. Like the customary truffle, chocolate truffles have come to be synonymous with luxury and a sumptuous taste experience. Truffles are made in a wide variety of tastes. In many chocolate houses the Chocolatier's finest ingredients are reserved for the truffle.

Homemade candy is so special. It is excellent for gifts, especially with Mother's Day and Graduations just around the corner. It is also fun to make with the family just to share with each other. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of development candy with my mom, dad, and sister. We had different favorites so we often made several varieties at a time. Divinity was all the time my favorite even though it is a rare treat now that I am a diabetic. This narrative also shares recipes for Rum Truffles and a tasty Cream Cheese White Chocolate Fudge!

3/4 cup white corn syrup
2 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Boil sugar, syrup, and water to a specific thread stage. (When the spoon is lifted the syrup is stringy like threads.) Mix salt into the egg whites. Pour 2/3 of the syrup gradually into the egg whites; beat constantly and add vanilla while still beating. Reheat 1/3 of the sugar syrup to a boiling point; add gradually to egg white mixture, beating constantly. When candy forms stiff peaks, stir in the nuts and drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Cool. Store in airtight containers. Note: A few drops of food coloring may be added, if desired. I liked development mine a pale pink when I was a young child!
Rum Truffles

1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1/3 cup butter flavor shortening
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm. Shape combination into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the chopped nuts to coat. Chill in the refrigerator.
Cream Cheese White Chocolate Fudge
8-oz cream cheese, softened
16-oz powdered sugar
12 squares white chocolate, melted
1 1/2 tsps vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut
1/2 stick butter, melted
Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add butter to the cream cheese and beat until mixed in. gradually add in the powdered sugar, beating continually. Stir in the melted chocolate, vanilla, nuts, and coconut; stir and beat well. Lightly butter a 9x 11-inch pan. Spread the candy into the pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut and serve.

Enjoy!
