The candies are made with chocolate ganache centers and require the finest quality cocoa. Chocolate made with at least 55 to 60 percent cocoa solids is ideal for making truffles to achieve the concentrated flavor. To create the ganache center, chocolate is melted with cream and butter until it is emulsified and smooth. The ganache is then piped through a pastry bag and rolled into balls by hand. Once the centers of the truffles have been chilled in the refrigerator, they can be dipped in a chocolate coating, rolled in cocoa Truffles pair well with coffee as an after-dinner indulgence.
