What a perfect Valentine’s day candy! These look great. I really like the idea of using deyhydrated strawberries. How simple and colorful! I don’t know about the trick of rolling the truffle in melted chocolate in your hand. Knowing me I’d end up with a big chocolate handprint somewhere unwanted

The color play resulting from the powdered fruit is very satisfying. However- the powder is quite hygroscopic. I tossed some corn starch in with it, only instinctively- not sure if that helps the issue at all (is there a chocolatier placebo effect?). Kelli- s there an ingredient that professional bakers use that would address the issue of hygroscopic tendencies in fructose powders?

Wowee! I have only had dehydrated strawberries once but they were seriously divine – I loved the crunch. And I can imagine how well the tart strawberry powder works with chocolate. My Italian sister-in-law’s dad always insisted on strawberries with balsamic vinegar and we always thought he was crazy….

Great pics too, btw

and i was struggling to find proper couverture around here – never mind dehydrated strawberries! but that amazing colour makes it worth going out of your way for… they certainly brightened up my day, and that’s without tasting them!

One day I decided to use dehydrated strawberries in my baking, but I didn’t have any. I did, however, have Special K Redberry cereal, you can see where this is going… I sat and picked strawberries out of the cereal box for quite some time. Next time I’ll just go to the store.
