Chocolate Truffles

Tonight's project - we'll let you know how they turn out.
They turned out great! Next time we're going to use a different recipe, though. It's really hard to roll them into balls because they melt all over your hands and make a big mess.
A chocolate one
A coconut one

Recipe: bring 6 oz heavy cream to a boil. Pour it over 10 oz chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until smooth then add 2 T butter. Add 2-3 T brandy if desired. Strain the mixture into a bowl and chill overnight. The next day, form the chocolate into balls and roll them in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, ground hazelnuts, or coconut. Boom.

Mmm...truffles. Hey, we watched the Portugal/Germany game today, and man, did Germany play well. Great defense.

Awe, nice job! Those look really yummy. They are definitely messy to make, but it's worth it :)
