Chocolate Truffles
Our other baking and cooking blog posts haven't always gone to plan...! But this one involves hardly any cooking so I think we'll be just fine. Pop these truffles in a sweet box and you've got a lovely, cheap and thoughtful homemade present. We've used a recipe from our favorite Good Housekeeping cook book.
You'll need;
You'll need;
225g Plain Chocolate
2 Eggs Yolks
25g Butter
15ml Single Cream
Drinking Chocolate Powder/ Chocolate Sprinkles
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Add the egg yolks, butter and cream and stir until the mixture is thick enough to handle.
Cool slightly, then form into balls and roll in chocolate powder.
Leave until firm and pop them into paper cases.
We made approximately 24 out of this batch!
The best thing about this recipe is the flexibility it offers you! We added vanilla essence to our mix, but you could also try spiced rum, black coffee or some chopped nuts.
So get in the kitchen and make some truffles!
