Let's have some chocolates...

It's Valentines Day.
For me, it's chocolate-exchanging-day.
Today,some received a lot of chocolates, probably the popular,funny and active one.
But, some with just a few,
some didn't even get a piece of jelly bean.

Tonight you might see a lot of couples walking on the street,
sweet hearts kissing each other,
males making females happy with flowers, or maybe boyfriends cooking for their honeys.


Obviously, I'm not one of them. I'm with the 'Singles' .
Valentine's Day means friendship day for singles.Don't misunderstand me! I'm proud of being single in my age right now.
I love my friends, and I love chocolates.
So in this very Romantic atmosphere...
I decided to make some chocolate truffles for my lovely classmates.

A lot of people spent a lot of money in buying chocolates.
Let me tell you, don't let Forrero Rocher or Cadbury or maybe Lindt earn your money .(I know, they taste wonderfullllllllll....) You can make your own. You can even arrange the portion.


I know , maybe homemade truffles aren't that pretty and professional as the store boughts. I know they cannot compare with forrero rocher... (because Forrero s are really THAT GOOD).
But the meaning of Valentines Day or should I say, Friendship day , isn't how tasty the chocolates are (yea....quite.....), or how fancy looking your gifts are...
It's about your sincere.

Certainly now is too late for making Valentines treat.
You can make them next year, if the world hasn't End. (yea, next year is 2012!! haha)

I made basic truffles. Tutorials from here.

Maybe a Chocolatier will be my valentine in the future.....maybe....?

Mmm...Coated with cocoa powder.....Imagine how chocolaty it is.....

cracked surface.

Obviously I made a mistake on these truffles. Too low temperature of refrigeration.I refrigerate them in the freezer...because at that time I was in a hurry for my favorite drama....hehe.

Maybe my photos aren't professional enough, but....at least... They're Wayyyy better than before which is taken with WebCam....(YaAAOOW !~)

Akhirnya, lagipun......selamat hari valentine.
