EASY DARK CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
These are the easiest of all fine-chocolate confections. Once the spheres of chocolate ganache (best-quality chocolate melted with heavy cream and butter) are dusted with cocoa powder, they resemble a mushroom-type delicacy freshly dug from the earth -- the truffle from which they take their name.

Steps:
- Heat chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add butter (and alcohol, if desired); stir until butter is melted.
- Pour mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until mixture is firm but still spoonable, about 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a very small (about 1 inch diameter) ice cream scoop (or a melon baller), drop balls of chocolate mixture onto lined sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
- Put cocoa in a large bowl. With cocoa-dusted hands, roll chocolate balls one at a time until smooth. Drop into cocoa; roll to coat.
