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.
