Ex Lax Truffles

[SoupDragon]

Does anyone have a recipe for these or something similar? Fathers' Day is coming up and I know one who deserves a lovely chocolate gift.

No but I can't wait to see the replies!

Brownies would do. Or choc chip cookies maybe?

Soupy - if it's the father I'm thinking of, doesn't he deserve something a bit classier than ex-lax? Cyanide perhaps? Arsenic?

Having read the thread, he sure deserves it. And it must be possible. What fun making them!

Better than just ex-lax, fill them with finely choppped fresh habenero or scotch bonnet chilli as well, then they'll really burn both ends.

In fact, I'll even volunteer to make them for the b**tard.

Cyanide and arsenic are simply too quick and not nearly so much fun

Soupy - whatever does the job is fine by me!

There's a short story called Hairball - think it's by Margaret Atwood - about a woman who has had an ovarian cyst removed. She rolls it in cocoa powder and grated chocolate, puts it in a box, ties it with a ribbon and sends it to her husband's mistress. So who's been to the doc's recently then?

(sorry if you're having dinner)

PS I'm not joking, I've even got a plant full of ripe habeneros ready & waiting for him

Well, there's a recipe for truffles here and if you chose to put, say, Senna in them, well...

this thread will run and run....
good idea soupdragon.

"run and run"

What about Delias Receipe? and just substitue normal chochate with ex-lax. Be careful not to forget and lick the spoon

I've just spent the afternoon making the "non speciality chocolate" version of these whilst DH is playing golf. All I need to do now is to make the DSs decorate the box to put them in and eat the ones that don't fit in myself.

I used to have a recipe for hashish fudge somewhere.

Not that I ever made it myself of course
