GHIRARDELLI SINFUL CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter. In a medium sized skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a slow simmer. Set the saucepan in the skillet over low heat. Stir mixture just until chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Pour the cocoa into a pie plate. Line an airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water and quickly scrape across the surface of the chilled truffle mixture to form a rough 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa. Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture. Gently shake the pie plate to coat truffles evenly. Transfer truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Take 125g of the chocolate and grate it finely (Use a piece of paper to hold the chocolate so that it doesnt melt under your fingers). Chop the remaining 25g into small pieces.
• Cream the butter (I used a spoon, but you may also use a hand-mixer). In portions add the grated and chopped chocolate as well as the chocolate/cocoa powder and the rum.
• Form balls (about the size of a hazelnut) out of the mass (wash your hands with cold water if they get too warm to form the balls without melting all the chocolate) and roll them in your desired garnish (see above).
• Place in candy wrappers and store in a box in a cool place (these will keep for up to 8 days).
