Guest Post: Bridget (Bake at 350) Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
I am so excited to have Bridget from Bake at 350 visiting today!!
Bridget doesn’t know this, but before I was a blogger, I used to stalk read her blog for cookie decorating tips and ideas…she’s one of my favorites!! I am so happy to have found out that besides being super talented and creative, she is sweet and funny.
And I get to meet her soon!!
I will be attending Blissdom in Nashville this month, and my first order of business is to find Cheryl (aka TidyMom) and Bridget and give them a huge hug!!
And then I will sprinkle glitter on them.
And then I will give them a Fruit Roll Up from my purse.
It will be so awesome.
Thanks so much Bridget, for taking the time to stop by and do a post in my absence!!
(P.S. I still stalk your blog)
(P.P.S. Yes, I really am going to sprinkle you with glitter…totally true)
Hi there! I’m Bridget from Bake at 350. I’m so, so excited to be here today….where I get my daily dose of sugar and laughs all in the same place!
Now, I know Kristan loves all things pink & sparkly, so I thought chocolate raspberry truffles with a little sprinkling of pink sanding sugar were just the thing for my guest post.
Chocolate Raspberry Truffles
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate (I like Ghiradelli)
1/2 c. heavy cream
2 TBSP raspberry sauce
1 bag dark chocolate candy melts
sanding sugar (optional)
Chop chocolate and place in a bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer on the stove and pour it over the chocolate.
Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Stir in the raspberry sauce.
Bring the chocolate to room temperature, about an hour or more until set.
Scoop into balls using a melon baller or a spoon and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
Kristan…thank you for inviting me to guest post today! I hope you’ll all stop by Bake at 350 and say “hi!”
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
I sooooo want to try these for Valentines day!!!
Thanks for a fabulous recipe Bridget!!
you wore the crown well! {wink}…..can I have it back though? I enjoyed being the queen!
These truffles are a treat fit for royalty! Kristan, thanks for having Bridget guest post. Don't mind saying that I'd love to be a *fly on the wall* to witness the excitement when you, meet up with Cheryl and Bridget at Blissdom. It will be electric! Have fun ladies :)
Ooo….I'm so excited to be here, Kristan! Thank you for inviting me!
And BLISSDOM! I was looking forward to it before, but now glitter and fruit roll-ups?!? Woo-hoo!
Hope you are having a great time in NO!

These are ADORABLE! Great guest post, Bridget. Good call on Valentine's day, Cheryl!

Beautiful truffles! Raspberry and chocolate are a delicious pair! I know just the person that will love these for V-day:) Such a pretty package, Bridget.
Ooooh, two great bloggers in one place!! Sigh, wish I could go to Blissdom. I'd walk by as you were sprinkling glitter and stick out my arm to get a little on me, too!
These truffles look delicious. Chocolate and raspberry together sounds heavenly!
Thanks for introducing me to a new blog. Love this post – the pink sugar sprinkled on the truffles is the perfect touch.

Bridget is so talented! Wish I were going to blissdom, but sadly not. I'll be thinking of all of you having a blast!
Great looking Valentines Truffles, Bridget! Wow you guys are going to have some fun at Blissdom.
Gorgeous! And I love the commentor who said they'd be great for Valentine's day – my husband would go NUTS over them! Score!
These look amazing! I adore truffles, and glitter and both of you, so how could I possibly go wrong?
Those have Kristan's name written all over them!
Didn't realize you would be at Blissdom! Woot! I'll be there, too. Would love to meet you.
Oh my, these look just like you! How cute.
But ya know, I think I may have some of them around Valentine's Day. They just look perfect for such a lovey, dovey day!
Fabulous!
These truffles look delicious! I am so happy to see Bridget here
Absolutely perfect. I'll have to file these for Valentine's Day, which is just around the corner.
OHHH Kristan!! I think I love you for having cool friends like Bridget!
Chocolate and Raspberry!! I shall faint after I take a bite out of the picture. Not only from the sheer excitement of the goodies but more likely from the electric shock ;-)
Imagine if I got a fruit roll up and glitter! I might piddle :-0
Checking cabinets for ingredients!!
Hi Kristan! I am a faithful stalker of Bridget's blog as well! So it was on her blog that I found my way to you and I am so excited to get to know you. What's this about fruit roll ups? I must get busy reading more of your posts!
These sound so yummy! Simple, but pretty and delicious, the perfect combo!
YUM!!
