Truffles are trufflicious

We made the most beeeeautiful truffles tonight! We made several flavors: dark chocolate with cognac, dark choc & orange, milk choc with vanilla, dark choc & cherry...there may have been more.

First, you make a ganache with chocolate and cream. You form this into the round truffle center. Then you dip the truffle twice into chocolate, and roll it in some sort of topping. We used toasted coconut, chopped pecans, powdered sugar, cocoa, shaved chocolate. Or, you could leave them plain. We don't like plain.

Some of the truffles in the big box were made by my classmates.

I made all of the ones in the small box.

These are incredibly silky and creamy. They're every bit as delicious as they look! I want to make truffles every day.
