Note to self:
Chocolate truffles melt at lower temperatures than chocolate bars. At 81 to 83 degrees F, they will melt together into a puddle of goo. Always put them in the refrigerator right away.
However, if they do melt, all is not lost. Put the bag of goo into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, to firm it up some. Then use 2 small spoons to drop small mounds of the melted chocolate onto a baking pan lined with wax paper, and put it back in the refrigerator.
Note to self:
Based on past notes, the following may be good refrigerator settings. I'll need to further monitor the temperatures to make sure.
Keep the temperature control (in the refrigerator) between 3 and 4*.
Keep the air control (in the freezer) at a low value such as 1*, to ensure maximum cold air flow to the refrigerator section.
The freezer is good around 0 degrees F.
The refrigerator should preferably be between 32 and 40 degrees F.
* Setting the temp control to 4, and the air control to 2, keeps fridge at 38 degrees and freezer at -5 degrees F**.
** Air temperature. Would need different thermometers to measure food temperature.
