In life, we sometimes meet people who are so willing to help us without wanting anything in return. People who are so generous and naturally kind-hearted. These are the kinds of people we should always be grateful to because they are so hard to come by. These are the kinds of people you make a box of chocolates for to show your appreciation. I've met one of these people. Her name is Jenny Jacobson.

Jenny and I met while pursuing our Master's degree's at the Simon School of Business here in Rochester, NY. She is one of the most creative people I have ever met and not to mention her love of statistics! Jenny has become a good friend of mine and one that I know I will always keep in touch with. I made her this "box" of chocolates to say thank you for all of her help with putting this blog together and sorting out all the kinks. She was so kind and patient and I really wanted to show her how much I appreciated her help.

And now I will tell you about these delicious truffles. These are bittersweet chocolate truffles. You can certainly make them out of milk chocolate (which I may try next time), but Jenny is more of a bittersweet/semi-sweet lover so that's what I settled on. Truffles usually have a chocolate ganache center and are dipped in melted chocolate and then rolled in a variety of toppings. The process can get a bit messy but it's all worth in the end because they are so pretty to look at and they taste wonderful! I apologize for not having photos from my very first step, but I started making these the night before and the quality of the pictures would've been too poor to post.
Method






So there you have it my friends, a visual of how to make a "box" of chocolates for someone special.
I looked around for a good recipe and decided to stick with Alton Brown's. It's simple and tastes great and for some strange reason I really trust him, maybe it's all that science talk that keeps me coming back. I did however, make some changes to the process at the end to make things easier for myself.. Enjoy!
