Chocolate by Molly Bakes is a cookbook for chocolatey things, surprisingly.
It starts with an introduction to the different kinds of cocoa beans there are, and some useful advice for working with chocolate. This is fine, but once you know the difference between Forastero, Criollo, and Trinitario, you want the more expensive ones.
The core content of the recipes is how to make hand-rolled truffles.
They’re very good. You make a ganache filling and a chocolate casing, and carefully assemble them in stages.
There are also recipes for a variety of other fun things. Chocolate bowls, for example:
And tray bakes, too.
If you like chocolate, this is an excellent book. It teaches you how to produce incredibly rich truffles and desserts, predominantly free from the distractions of other ingredients.
