With cakes and chocolates and cookies in the air… yummmy truffles too join them in spreading happiness…
Chocolate truffles are, however, the easiest to make. These require neither any moulds nor melting it in the double boiler.

Moreover, you can make these truffles as per your liking, adding what you like most. You can mix any number of things like nuts, biscuits, desiccated coconut, cornflakes, dried fruits etc flavour with cinnamon, rum/brandy and brown sugar. Feel free to adjust the quantity of nuts and biscuits as per your choice.

Then a mix of cream and chocolate is added to it. These chocolate truffles remain soft only because of the presence of cream in it.That’s it. This mix is then formed into balls and coated with confetti etc. while forming balls your hands may get little chocolate but that should not be a problem, I think.

These truffles are the easiest to make. Nothing can go wrong with it.

You can make these truffles look beautiful by rolling them in a variety of things.

Steps

1

Crush biscuits using a rolling pin.
2

Roast nuts and crush them. Add raisins, dates etc.
3

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces. It is broken or crushed so that it melts easily.
4

Heat cream in a pan on medium flame. When starts bubbling around the edges, switch off the flame, add broken dark chocolate, now without mixing, just cover it. The heat of the cream is enough to melt the chocolate.

6

By now, chocolate must have melted, stir until smooth.
Add this chocolate to the dry mix.

Mix properly and keep this in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes or till firm. Do not try to form balls now as it will be very moist at this stage.
8

After some time in the refrigerator, chocolate will set partially. Then form balls.
9

Desiccated Coconut
Chocolate Sprinkles
Confetti
Mix of cocoa+castor sugar+ finely chopped nuts

NOTES
You can omit brown sugar, especially if the biscuits are sweet.
You can take normal dairy cream or heavy whipping cream, whichever is easily available. I used Amul’s tetra pack.
