Absolutely Love This Book - Marisa - Southern California
I received this book as a gift and I absolutely love, love, love it! I regret that I was not fortunate enough to actually purchase any of their candies when their stores where open. I'm a truffle lover and the truffles in this book, while few are absolutely excellent and extremely easy to make. We made caramel apples recently and used the caramel recipe in the book and I won't say how many of the apples I ate but I enjoyed each and every one of them. Buy this book; you will love all the recipes in it.
