Cooking Instructions
- 1
Finely chop chocolate and place it in a bowl.
- 2
Add cream to saucepan, together with small diced butter and honey and bring mixture just to a boil. Butter must be melted before the mixture boils, so dice ur butter or soften them before adding it to cream in saucepan.
- 3
(Amount of honey added is dependent on the sweetness of your chocolate used and sweetness you want) I added 3 tablespoon of honey to a mixture of 72% cocoa and 65% cocoa.
- 4
When mixture starts to boil, turn off heat and pour mixture to the chopped chocolate. Let them sit for a while and stir to ensure chocolate is fully melted. If the chocolate is not fully melted, place bowl on simmering water and stir till melt.
- 5
Once chocolate is fully melted and mixture is well combined, add peppermint extract and mix well.
- 6
(You may want to use real mint leaves in this recipe. In this, slightly bruise the mint leaves and add to the saucepan together with butter and honey and bring mixture just to a boil. Strain the mixture over chocolate to remove leaves.)
- 7
Pour mixture into a shallow large dish or bowl or you can keep them in the same bowl and refrigerate till firm, approx 1-2 hours.

Using a melon baller/small ice cream scoop/ hands, scoop mixture and make into balls. You may find it hard to work with your hands as it will melt and become sticky. The trick here is to use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to ball the mixture and using a small small spatula, or teaspoon to scoop the chocolate out.

(If you are living in hot and humid country like I do, you will need to fridge the mixture every few balls as the mixture will get too soft to work with)
- 10
This can be kept in fridge for up to a week or freeze them for months. Enjoy! =)

Melty Chocolate Truffles Melty Chocolate Truffles
I've made various types of chocolate for Valentines day over the years, but this simple chocolate truffle was the most well-received so this has become the standard for our house over the past few years.A bento lunch box with a depth of 2 to 3 cm is best. Since fresh cream keeps it from getting too hard, I like putting it in the freezer. You can also store it in the freezer in zipper bags. When you want to eat it shake the bag to apply the cocoa powder. Recipe by Bi-jo -

Easy Chocolate Truffles Easy Chocolate Truffles
I've been making these truffles ever since I was single and gave them a go with store-bought chocolate bars this time. Since these truffles aren't too sweet, my family really loves them.I used 2 bars of dark chocolate from Lawson for this recipe which weighed 75 g each.If you are using milk chocolate instead, please reduce the amount of cream to 75 ml.You don't have to add any mizuame if you don't have any.If you want to make more authentic truffles, give them a light coating of chocolate and freeze them before applying a thick layer of coating at the end.
