"Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not."-Numbers 11:23
    
    God had made a positive promise to Moses that for the space of a whole month He would feed the vast host in the wilderness with flesh. Moses, being overtaken by a fit of unbelief, looks to the outward means, and is at a loss to know how the promise can be fulfilled. He looked to the creature instead of the Creator. But doth the Creator expect the creature to fulfil His promise for Him? No; He who makes the promise ever fulfils it by His own unaided omnipotence. If He speaks, it is done-done by Himself. His promises do not depend for their fulfillment upon the co-operation of the puny strength of man. We can at once perceive the mistake which Moses made. And yet how commonly we do the same! God has promised to supply our needs, and we look to the creature to do what God has promised to do; and then, because we perceive the creature to be weak and feeble, we indulge in unbelief. Why look we to that quarter at all? Will you look to the north pole to gather fruits ripened in the sun? Verily, you would act no more foolishly if ye did this than when you look to the weak for strength, and to the creature to do the Creator's work. Let us, then, put the question on the right footing. The ground of faith is not the sufficiency of the visible means for the performance of the promise, but the all-sufficiency of the invisible God, who will most surely do as He hath said. If after clearly seeing that the onus lies with the Lord and not with the creature, we dare to indulge in mistrust, the question of God comes home mightily to us: "Has the Lord's hand waxed short?" May it happen, too, in His mercy, that with the question there may flash upon our souls that blessed declaration, "Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

5th Day of Christmas baking...



On the 5th Day of Christmas baking I made for my true love...

Triple-Chocolate Truffles

These are easy to make just take time to do it.  You can't just make them and be done.  You have to let each layer set up about an hour before doing the next layer and then you have to let the whole thing set up before dipping.  But they are melt in your mouth chocolate inside.  OH, so heavenly.  My daughter saw the recipe in the Chocolate cookbook put out by The Pampered Chef, which by the way I won.
Here's a peek at what I won....


 don't ask me whose site because I don't remember and since I've been having computer issues the last few months that information is wiped out of my computer, however, it is one the the button links in my side bar.  She has wonderful gift giveaways. The Truffles are picture on the book; however, mine didn't look as Picture perfect as what the book shows....


I don't have permission to give you their recipe, but you can find it in the book:  Chocolate

However, I did tweek the recipe from the book so I'll tell you what I did.....

1.)  melted a 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips, dark, semi, milk I don't care...could even use mint if you want mint truffles along with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 7 &1/2 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream.  (I did this in microwave cooker that I won pictured above.  it was so nice to use.)  did about three - 30 second intervals.

2.)  pour into a saran wrap lined pan, dish, etc.   Refrigerate at least 1 hour. 

3.)  melt a 12 oz. bag of white chips (actually for this I used the bark squares), 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, and 7 & 1/2 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. 

4.)  pour over the chocolate layer, cover and return to refrigeration for at least 4 hours.  I did mine over night. 

5.)  remove from baking pan to cookie sheet to cut into 1 inch squares.  I found that the white layer was softer so it worked better to have this layer on top when cutting. also found they are easier to dip cold.  

6.)  melt chocolate bark for dipping.  Dip each square in chocolate and place on wax paper to harden. 

7.)  You may add garnishes if you wish before chocolate hardens we didn't.  Drizzle  chocolate or sprinkle nuts or sprinkles etc.  be creative.
