Chocolate Curacao Smoked Paprika Truffles and November’s LOL Food Blogger Posts

by Lora Wiley-Lennartz
For the chocolate truffles, I used this basic recipe from Joy of Baking

I added two tablespoons of Chocolate Curacao I brought home from a scuba diving trip to Curacao and rolled them in a mixture of cocoa powder, powdered sugar and smoked red paprika.

The smoked paprika added a little bitter bite to all the sweet chocolatelyness.
Tomorrow is World AIDS Day. Check out the macarons I made HERE to commemorate it.
On a lighter note, below are the posts that made me smile, giggle, laugh or all three this month…

Those look decadent and I'm completely intrigued by the addition of paprika. Thanks for the mention, I'll have to give my pup an extra treat for her contribution.
