Method

  1. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Roll into walnut-size balls with your hands and pop into the fridge on a plate to chill and set. Once set, roll in cocoa or icing sugar. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week.

    I found these plain and quite tasteless, and they didn't taste like truffles at all! But they are quick to make though, so good if you're in a hurry.

    I add a little almond essence and dip them in melted chocolate rather than cocoa. Yummy.
