Cool. It's been so hot here, which is making me feel poorly too, I haven't wanted to turn oven on or do much of anything really.

I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

I made some of those years and years ago, with tiny truffles with raspberries in the center, and used Chambord as part of the batter. They were for a sister-in-law's birthday. They were so good! Unfortunately, I lost the recipe and have never tried to recreate them.
I was thinking along those lines today - wondering what I could embed in the centre! I don't know if there is a special technique for that (would the fruit sink if you just put it in halfway though filling?

I actually made tiny truffles. I remember doing that because I had never made truffles, or lava cakes for that matter, before. I probably poured a small amount of batter in mold, then placed the truffle, then poured remainder of batter in.
I'm going to have to try a filling. Do you think marshmallows would work. I happen to have some.

I once tried making fondant and had a hard-as-hell time trying to do it!!
