10 More Chocolates Truffle Recipes

 Chocolate truffles are a wonderful gift but to purchase handmade chocolates can be rather pricey.  Now you can make your own and have the amazing taste of hand made fresh chocolates.

For all truffles if you are using real chocolate, containing cocoa butter, you will need to temper when using it to coat. No tempering needed when using it in fillings.  Tempering makes it set firmly at room temperature. There is a video explaining tempering for you. If you are using compound chocolate, containing vegetable fat, it does not need tempering but will not taste quite as good.
