Truffles with cherry
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Cherry truffles turn out with a pronounced cherry and cognac flavor. You can use fresh, frozen, or even dried cherries—just make sure they're pitted. The chocolate for the candies should be high quality, as it determines the truffles' taste. Instead of rolling the candies in cocoa powder, you can coat them with dark or white chocolate. Serve chilled.
