There are so many goodies in the world that just aren't worth the calories that when you do find one that is you want to do your best to enjoy it. One of the ones we've found are the chocolate truffles at Costco - little round balls of chocolate rolled in chocolate powder that simply melt in your mouth.
Well, they melt in your garage, too, if you happen to leave them out during the hottest days of summer. When we looked at them a couple of weeks ago to see what shape they were in, we found a solid lump of chocolate about 3 inches in diameter. Obviously not so easy to pop in your mouth. It wasn't even that easy to chip away with a knife - but worth it.
Well, I decided to rescue the chocolate. I put the lump in a 1 quart glass measuring cup and heated it for 1.5 minutes in the microwave. That melted it to a slightly warm, easily pourable liquid. I then sprayed Pam cooking spray on some silicone ice cube trays we bought from Ikea. I poured the chocolate liquid into the molds and set them in the fridge. Voila! Little chocolate candies that melt in your mouth.
