Is there a better gift than home made chocolate truffles? They cost you an arm and a leg at the chocolatiers and yet you can make them yourself for a fraction of the cost.
You will need your chosen truffle fillings (recipes below and demonstrated in the video) plus tempered chocolate for dipping the truffles. If you chocolate is not in temper your truffles will be soft and melting at room temperature.
Please read this post first on what chocolate to use and how to temper chocolate.
