Method

  • step 1

    In a small saucepan, bring the cream to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Gently stir the mixture until smooth, then add the alcohol or vanilla extract and hazelnuts. Cover and put in the fridge for 30 mins or until the mixture is thick but not solid.

  • step 2

    Scoop out teaspoons of the mixture and roll into small balls with your hands. Put each of your sprinkles or glitters onto separate small plates or bowls. Roll each truffle into the sprinkles or glitter to coat, then chill again to firm up. Will keep chilled for 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month without the decoration.

I have made these today with my four year old son. They were very easy to make and my son loved getting his hands dirty rolling the mix into little balls. They went down a treat when we had friends call in this evening although next time I will experiment by making them with milk chocolate as the…
