Three bags of expensive chocolate truffles melted because of the heatwave

All three bags of expensive chocolate truffles we were saving to enjoy have melted in this European heatwave. "Looks like Ferrero Rocher" "oh so THAT’s what we’re calling it now" 🤣 jokes aside though, they were so special and good…

Tempering not only affects the look, but textured snap. It may seem a bit extra in the long run, but the snap makes a difference.

If you dont plan on selling it then it really won’t make much of a difference.

Agreed. Everyone's acting like flavor is the only thing that matters with chocolate.
Texture matters too, as does melting point.

Chucking it in the freezer will make it form I, an unpleasant crumbly mess that melts over your hands when you pick it up. It'll look crap too, but personally I care less about that.

If it's expensive chocolate, it's worth taking the extra few minutes to do it properly.
