Enrobed in edible gold powder, these creamy truffles will elevate any candy tray or dessert spread. They make an elegant gift as well.
Tip:
I melt my chocolate in the microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir it with a silicone spatula and return to the microwave as needed for 15 seconds at a time, stir again. When you can see the edges are melted, then the middle will usually finish melting as you stir. This eliminates loss of chocolate around the edges of the TM bowl and blade when you are only doing a small amount. If using Callebaut which I recommend, it will also basically mean you have tempered chocolate which will mean you will have a nice shell on the outside of the truffles.
