Carole Bloom’s Truffles Candies & Confections is the chocolate-lover’s bible, packing 224 pages of professional-level techniques for making silky truffles, buttery caramels, and show-stopping candies at home. Random House’s 2004 paperback keeps the steps clear and the ingredient lists short, so even first-time sugar workers can turn out glossy ganache and crackling brittles without a marble slab.
Inside, Bloom balances classic French methods with modern flavor twists—think espresso truffle squares and chili-spiked toffee—alongside charts for tempering, dipping, and storage. Metric and imperial measures, plus timing cues, make the book a trusty kitchen reference for bakers, dessert caterers, and anyone building a handmade gift stash.
This used copy shows gentle cover scuffs and one dog-eared page, plus a tiny edge tear on the publication page; interior recipes remain crisp and unmarked. It’s a ready-to-use workhorse for sweet-tooth cooks who want pro results without the collector price.
