So I had more people try the cocoa chili and dark chocolate lime. These were not a very big hit. Good to know, and definitely did not hurt my feelings. I know when I've hit upon something good when I get people to throw their head back, eye roll, muffled OMG swoon. I had a few with that kind of reaction; the chai was one of them. So I will not continue the dark chocolate lime and cocoa chili. It's all a learning process. I made lemon cheesecake fudge, and it turned out like frosting. It didn't harden up in the fridge like I had hoped; not even in the freezer. It still tasted really good, but it was not fudge. I hate it when I make flops. Not so much of it not turning out, but because of the cost of ingredients. Buying the supplies in small quantities at the grocery store is rough. I really need to be more careful. This is why I cut back the batches to half, so that if it doesn't turn out then I don't waste as much *sigh*. I made apple toffee blondies for the preschool board meeting. They came out well. Very moist, and not overly sweet, with a slight tang from the granny smith apples. I also did Root Beer Float fudge for the hell of it. This was so good! I got the reaction I was looking for from people. It really does taste like biting into a root beer float. The only thing I would do differently is marble it a little more, because the white chocolate turned out a little too runny, and I would cut back on the vanilla extract which made the white chocolate runny in the first place. Wahoo for success!
