I love chocolate. Who doesn’t? Chocolate with caramel, chocolate with peanut butter, chocolate with strawberries, well, pretty much chocolate with anything. Sometimes, however, chocolate deserves to be the shining star. This easy truffle recipe lets chocolate take center stage. You can customize it to your liking, also. The recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate but you could use semi-sweet or milk chocolate – or a combination. Just make sure you choose good quality chocolate. Because there are so few ingredients, you can really taste the chocolate so you want it to be the good stuff. You can flavor the truffles, if you want, by adding up to 2 tablespoons of flavorings (liqueurs, extracts, nuts, coffee, purees, spices, candied or dried fruits).

As a truffle confectioner am always looking for unique packaging for my truffles. I ran across your site and think it is terrific. I think your truffle recipe is easy and such a good choice (of course) for anyone trying to make a special gift for their family or friends. Do you have a link I can include on my blog? http://blog.ejconfections.com/
