Tip

  • Using good quality chocolate and butter will make the best truffles.

     

  • You can add chopped almonds or hazelnuts to the mixture at the same time as the chocolate is placed in the bowl.

     

  • Can roll truffles in chocolate sprinkles instead of cocoa.

     

  • If mixture is melting on your hands when rolling into balls have a bag of frozen peas at the ready to cool your hands between truffles.

     

  • Can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 2 months.
