BASIC CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES (PLUS 4 VARIATIONS)
I like this recipe cause it's all there - very simple instructions, and lots of interesting variations once you master the basic recipe. Truffles are wonderful confections to make at home - not difficult at all. From Food and Wine magazine. Rolling time not included.
