What Makes Champagne Truffles Scrumptiously Tempting

By Roger Reed


Leaving someone with a memorable impression of you is always a good thing. Giving someone a gift is an important aspect of solidifying a relationship. However not the gift that counts but the thought behind it, so it might be hard to find something that leaves an impact on mind and heart of the person using a gift.

With our busy schedule in New York City today the difficulty to find the time to look for the perfect gift. But with a basic idea on using cooking utensils and reading a measuring cup the easier the create home made gifts for that special someone. The best and easiest treat to make is champagne truffles, and anyone who loves cocoa and wine will surely give you a five star rating.

Truffles are made out of cocoa and cocoa contains 2 special chemicals that induce the happy lovey dovey feeling you get from eating cacao. Bonbon contains 300 chemicals that trigger the brains through neurotransmitters. Phenylethylamine and tryptophan are the real culprits when it comes to getting seduced by food.

Phenylethylamine travels through neurotransmitters that trigger the hypothalamus to make you feel like you are in love. This also cause alertness, excitement, pulse rate becomes faster, and happiness. In terms of moods serotonin often elicit feelings of anxiety and elation.

Endorphins are chemicals discharged from eating that lowers the level of stress in a person including pain. Similar to the chemical found in cannabis, anandamide helps discharge of dopamine that brings about a high feeling to the consumer. However not as strong as smoking marijuana and getting high would require you to consume so much until you are sick before you can feel anything strange.

The benefits of eating in moderation can improve the flow of blood and lowers the blood pressure. It also contains fibre, minerals, and antioxidants. The flavanols in dark chocolate stimulate organs in the body to produce nitric oxide, a gas that functions as a relaxant to the arteries.

Now that you have a rough idea how chocolate helps you become a better person. It is time to make the change start making some truffles in the kitchen, but before you turn on that stove get your ingredients out on the table. Start chopping the chocolate into fine pieces and place them in a bowl that is heat resistant.

The procedure is very easy just make sure that you not only have the correct ingredients, but also the right amount because the taste will be altered if it is not correctly done. Take a small sauce pan then put the heat on medium high then pour half of a cup of heavy cream. Once it is hot take it away from the heat then pour it on the cocoa in a heat resistant bowl.

Stir the mixture until the chocolate has melted into a goopy substance. It should not be droopy but should have a smooth consistency. Then add a quarter and a tablespoon of champagne, and a tablespoon of cognac, stir in these last two ingredients and until well mixed. Freeze the chocolate for at least an hour to firm and once it is done you can scoop the chocolate using a scooper then garnish with your choice of sugary or powdery seasoning.
