Dark chocolate truffles are the sweet and sophisticated temptation that melts in your mouth. These appetizing candies will make your loved-ones long for more, whether covered in toasted nuts, flaked coconut, cocoa or any of your favorite coatings. Very simple and yet still looks wonderful and simply heavenly with its rich and soft texture. You can try using different types of chocolate and for a nice twist, dip them in a semi-sweet chocolate to create a hard candy shell outside the truffles.
