Dixie Crystals Insight
NOTE: Truffles are made with just a few natural ingredients and are easy to make. To obtain good results using high quality chocolate and cocoa powder is essential. Many chocolate manufacturers indicate on the label the cocoa mass content. The higher the cocoa mass the stronger the chocolate flavor. This recipe is formulated using chocolate with a cocoa mass content between 58% and 65%. Using a different chocolate may make the truffles too sweet or too bitter. Truffles are best when consumed at room temperature.

I made chocolate truffles for Christmas baskets this year. I rolled in cocoa, powdered sugar, finely crushed almonds and pecans! They were scrumptious! Put them in tiny cups and a decorative box! Beautiful.
