Chocolate truffles

Chocolate truffles

Chocolate truffles are a delicious snack and perfect for any occasion. In addition, the preparation is very simple and allows you to add different ingredients to obtain your personal version. This little sweet will be a perfect companion to a good cup of coffee or a glass of liquor in good company.

Although this is a basic recipe, you have the possibility to change the ingredients according to your needs. For example, if the truffles are going to be taken by children, you can eliminate the liquor without any problem. In case you prefer them to have a milder flavor, you can vary the proportions of dark chocolate and add milk chocolate. Regarding the decoration, I have chosen to present the truffles as is, without adding anything on top, but you can bathe the truffles in dark chocolate or with chocolate shavings.
