Truffles

Description

For preparation, be sure to use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 67%, preferably 72% or higher. This will ensure the candies are truly chocolatey. You can roll the truffles in cocoa powder, as specified in the recipe, or in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or crushed wafers.
