Truffle-Filled Brownies

As I flipped through my Pampered Chef cook book, lots of recipes popped out at me. French Macaroons, mini S'mores, Chocolate Tortes, and much, much more. My brother and dad had left to go to the Gold Cup in Miami, Florida, and they were coming back today. We decided that I should bake them a little treat for when they got home. I chose a simple brownie recipe with truffles in the middle. My mom and I weren't planning on spending alot of money, so we chose to use some dark chocolates she had left over from her Dove Chocolatier things. We then went to Kroger to pick up the rest of the items I needed. We only needed four ingredients, so we probably spent six dollars give or take. I mixed all of the ingredients together, praying it would all come out right. I never really have had much of a good history with chocolate, even though I love to eat it. My brownies and Giant Chocolate Chip cookies never really come out right, and Iwould soon learn that these cupcakes would not be much different. After I mixed the mixture with my blender, I could already tell that the batter was a bit runnier than I was used to. Ignoring this, I slid the cupcakes into the oven and crossed my fingers while they baked. When I first checked on them, I noticed that they were baking stranger than usual. When I finally took them out and tried them, I absolutely couldn't stand them. They had an interesting and thick taste that I wasn't very associated with. When my mom tried them, she loved them. she said that they were extremely rich, and was the one, in the end, who finished them. I figured that because my mom liked them, my dad and brother would like them. when my brother tried them, he practically screamed "These are H O R R I B L E!!!"  which was heartbreaking for me. My dad went about it nicer, and told me that they were good. in the end, I decided that I was better off not experimenting with chocolate. below are the pics of my Chocolate Catastrophe:)
