EASY TRUFFLES
These are really just too easy to make!!!! The beauty of these is that they can be made with whatever biscuit/cookie you prefer and coated with whatever you have in the pantry. You can also leave them uncoated if you wish. So far, here in NZ I have only made them with 'Toffee Pops' but I have made 2 batches.......one for my daughter's 2nd birthday as a treat for the attending adults and again for my nephews 2nd birthday lunch the next day. They were well received :) I dipped mine to cover half way up the ball in melted dark chocolate but you can use white or milk chocolate, or, roll the balls in chopped nuts, cocoa, coconut, candy sprinkles or even a combination.....the choice is yours. Yield is dependent on size. EDITED TO ADD (For those in NZ or Australia).....Since making these a few times I have found that by using 2 pkts Toffee Pops plus 1 pkt of Griffins Peach or Mint Sensation biscuits it gives an even better result. Also if you are not so fond of a cream cheese taste use 3pkts biscuits of your choice. They can also be frozen or will keep for up to a week in the fridge. Great to make ahead of time.

Tips:
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped or grated. This will help it melt smoothly and evenly.
- Use heavy cream instead of milk. This will give the truffles a richer, creamier flavor.
- Don't overcook the chocolate and cream mixture. Remove it from the heat as soon as it is smooth and combined.
- Chill the truffle mixture for at least 2 hours before shaping. This will help it firm up and make it easier to roll into balls.
- If the truffle mixture is too soft, add more cocoa powder or powdered sugar until it reaches a firm consistency.
- If the truffle mixture is too dry, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts before serving.
- Store the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
