Notes
- Buy the best possible quality chocolate when making truffles as you want the chocolate flavor to really shine.
- While rolling the chocolate might stick to your palm so dust your palms with some cocoa powder if this happens.
- The heat from your hand will start melting the chocolate so you will want to work fast while rolling the balls.
