I had to do something memorable with the Coole Swan (before it all disappears into coffee and White Russians).
So, I made a batch of truffles with approximately 3 Tablespoons Coole Swan stirred into one bag, melted (just nuke it, carefully- stir & check consistently, at about 40 seconds. The chips will hold their shape even after the chocolate has melted), of Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips, & a stick of unsalted butter stirred gently into the mix. Chill. Scoop with teaspoon and roll in cocoa, chopped, toasted almonds, chocolate sprinkles (or 'jimmies'), or dip in melted chocolate (we'll cover that on another post).
My 8 year old finished making the batch & didn't even make (much of) a mess.
PS This will also make the most luscious ganache for frosting cakes & cupcakes (you can use 1/2 heavy whipping cream instead of butter). You'll never use frosting from a jar again (or if you do, everyone will bitch).
