Spicy Chipotle Chocolate Ganache Truffles - a spicy smoky sweet chocolate treat! These truffles are so easy to make, and are equally impressive for any event! Moustaches or not!
Several years ago, I was driving on the FREEWAY. An SUV passed by me, and the kid in the back seat threw something out the window. It hit my windshield, made me swerve, scared the pants off me, really. I caught up with the guy, who pulled over. I pulled over in front of their car, GOT OUT of my car (yep, on the freeway) and marched on back there, yelling WHAT WAS  THAT?? DO YOU REALIZE I COULD HAVE CRASHED??
He was VERY apologetic, his son would be punished, etcetera and so on. I looked down to see his license plate, didn't have a front one. I started walking to the back of his car to see his license plate, he put it in reverse to keep me from seeing it. I stopped and looked at him, we had a stare-down for quite a while, I started walking again, he reversed again. Then I realized I was standing on a busy freeway. (My mom hates this story).
I got back in my car, realizing he would not leave until I did. I started driving, he started driving (at this point I didn't even want his license plate, it was the principle... I suppose I am a bit competitive). I slowed down, he would not pass me. I pulled off at the next exit, he pulled over again! I gave up and drove off.
Since I had taken an exit I was not planning to, I drove the back way home, through Lake Oswego proper. As I was driving through town, guess which car I see parked in the video store parking lot?! Yep.
I flipped a u-turn, parked and wrote. down. his. license. plate. number.
I waited until they saw me, held up the piece of paper, waved and drove off.
Why am I telling you a story that clearly shows my immaturity?
That guy had a moustache that looked like this - like the guy on the Monopoly game.
I saw these moustache candy molds and had to have them. Aren't they so fun?

Haha! That is the type of craziness that I would do. Well, back in the day anyway. 😉 These look totally delicious! They make me think of Farrell's ice cream parlor. Do you remember those? Didn't the guy on the logo have that type of moustache?
xo,
Shirley
Isabel says
Love the story & love the truffles!
Beth @ Tasty Yummies says
Best story EVER! and that is totally something I would do.
OK now the truffles, OMG I want these right now. Also, my hubby has a mustache just like these truffles 🙂
Hannah says
I love stories about people getting out of their cars to give other drivers what for! I fantasize about doing it so often so you people are really my heros.
I love the truffles too!
Eileen says
I think this story shows that dude's immaturity a whole lot more than yours! Nice example for his kid, too. What a tool. And OMG, spicy mustache truffles! EEEEEEE.
Michelle says
Wow. I love this story. I love that you got him!
Kristina Sloggett says
it was pretty funny, actually... 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
ha, perhaps you're right. I just know I don't back down when met with a challenge... *sigh* It turned out pretty great, though 😉
Ari @ Ari's Menu says
OMG you made mustaches???? Your blog might have just become my favorite. Between the mustaches, the story that sounds EXACTLY like me, and the fact that you put chipotle peppers in your chocolate--it's all too perfect.
Kristina Sloggett says
aren't the moustaches THE BEST!?!? I know - pretty fun. and yep, the chipotle was a risk, but it ended up being a delicious one...
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Hahahaha!!! I love love love that you ran into the jerk and he saw you get his numer. What an ass. Lol!
Kristina Sloggett says
right??! karma 😉
Carbzilla says
I love that story. There is NOTHING I hate more than bad people getting away with $hitty behavior because they think no one will stand up to them.
And I love chocolate.
Kristina Sloggett says
I know - I was kinda surprised I was so bold, though! 😉
and HELLO! how ARE you? hope all is going well, great to "see" you! XO
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
OMG I love you even more! That has to be one of the best stories I've heard lately. You're nuts 😉 But I adore the segue into those cute chocolates.
Kristina Sloggett says
nuts is right... I was out there for a while before even realizing what I was actually doing! silly girl...
Lora says
What a great idea to make the moustache shapes and I'm all about that flavor. Yum!
Kristina Sloggett says
I LOVE my new moustache mold - I cannot wait to make more! 🙂
