As we approach the twenty-first century, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that our entire culture is in trouble. We are staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, and we can no longer afford to act like it’s loaded with blanks… Our society has replaced heroes with celebrities, the quest for a well-informed character with the search for a flat stomach, substance and depth with image and personality. In the political process, the makeup man is more important than the speech writer, and we approach the voting booth, not on the basis of a well-developed philosophy of what the state should be, but with a heart full of images, emotions, and slogans all packed into thirty-second sound bites. The mind-numbing, irrational tripe that fills TV talk shows is digested by millions of bored, lonely Americans hungry for that sort of stuff (J.P Moreland).

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop 12 ounces chocolate into chunks. Place chocolate pieces in a food
processor with a metal blade and process until the chocolate is finely
chopped. Bring cream to a boil. With food processor running, add cream to
chocolate and process until cream is completely incorporated. With
processor still running, add liqueur and process until incorporated.
Refrigerate chocolate mixture until thoroughly chilled.
Using powdered sugar on your hands to prevent the chocolate from sticking,
roll teaspoonsful of the chocolate mixture into balls. Refrigerate again
until chilled.
Melt 1 pound chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Allow chocolate to
cool to about 90 degrees F. Take each chocolate ball and dip it in the
melted chocolate. Place the chocolate ball in the cocoa to coat.
Refrigerate once again.
Store truffles in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow to
rise to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
