Anyone can cook. It is about taste and quality. To be adventurous, creative, bold and enjoying the process.


Of course you are going to burn pots, or have flying, exploding waffles in front of your guest...
but heck... that is the fun of learning.. keep persevering.

Bourbon Lavender Chocolate Delights

Here is a great chocolate recipe that will enrapture your taste buds! I think it is the bourbon that did it.
For non alcoholics... all the alcohol is evaporated when you boil it... it is the left over taste that makes it all worthwhile. Yummy! Please do not use cheap alcohol. That will not do either! Something mid range!



Ingredients
1 bar of Unsweetened Guitard dark chocolate
1/2 cup of boil lavender  flowers with water ( just the scented water)
Honey to taste
Salt to taste, a pinch
Almond slices
Cranberry
Raisins
Almond Milk

Method
Melt the chocolate in double boiler
Add salt, Almond Milk and honey
Stir till consistency is thick and smooth, sticks to the spoon
Spread it on a large foil, sprinkle the almonds, cranberry or raisins all over the flatten sheet of chocolate.
or roll it in balls coated with cocoa power or powdered sugar, of course with the dried ingredients  in it.

I hope you like it as much as I do. It is really great.
