    About the authors

    Introduction

    The origin of the word chocolate has been traced to the Aztec word xocoatl, which referred to a bitter drink brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree,Theobroma cacao, means food of the gods. Many modern historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2000 years, but recent research suggests that it may be even older.

    While it is hard to pin down exactly when chocolate was born, it is clear that it was cherished from the very start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, cacao beans were considered valuable enough to use as currency. One bean could be traded for a tamale, while 100 beans could purchase a good turkey hen, according to a 16th-century Aztec document

    By the 17th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal and even aphrodisiac properties (it's rumored that Casanova was especially fond of the stuff). But it remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass production possible in the late 1700s.

    The creation of the first modern chocolate bar is credited to Joseph Fry, who in 1847 discovered that he could make a moldable chocolate paste by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa. By 1868, a little company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England. Milk chocolate hit the market a few years later, pioneered by another name that may ring a bell – Nestle.

    Chocolate manufacturing is a more than 4-billion-dollar industry in the United States, and the average American eats at least half a pound of the stuff per month.

    Now, you have at your finger tips 500 recipes of chocolate in a variety of forms. Whether you prefer your chocolate in a cookie, cake, truffle, or a drink, you now have a lot of choices!

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes or until firm

    Place your choice of coating in a bowl. If you're going to have more than one, use separate bowls. Some possible coating choices are: toasted coconut, chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered chocolate, crushed Oreo® Cookies.

    Scoop out a teaspoon full of the truffle mixture and, using your fingers, roll it into a ball. Work quickly as the heat of your hand will quickly start melting the chocolate. Drop ball in the coating bowl. Repeat the process until there are 4 or 5 balls in the coating bowl. Gently roll the truffles in the coating mixture and a sheet of waxed paper.

    Wrap truffles in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to ten days or in the freezer for up to a month.
