Chocolate Truffle Tart Recipe: Grace's Sweet Life Tart Recipes Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 29th April 2011 When it comes to chocolate, when is enough, enough? The other day I asked my daughter, Liana, if is she would mind stopping at the specialty market on the way home from school to pick up my supply of chocolate? Of course she quickly agreed (probably will be the last time). Off she went with my carefully documented list of the types of chocolate I needed, bittersweet, semisweet, milk and white and more importantly the names of the brands I preferred for each type of chocolate (I am so particular). I wasn’t prepared for the barrage of phone calls. I sensed her frustration over the phone but when she returned home, well, that frustration was written all over her face. Well, I took the time to calculate the “usual” amount. So what’s a girl to do with chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate? Regular chocolate chips just won’t do in this special dessert. This is one of my go to dessert recipes when I’m hosting a dinner party.
