How often do you see me in kitchen? Out of the blue. The way to a man's heart is through their stomach, they say.. The big problem is it occured to me that heavy cooking is not my way to sweep off someone's feet. I cannot cook but I can make you truffles. So here I am, lavishly sharing to you how to make Chuffles (Chocolate truffles over Cocoa and Chop nuts).
What do you need?
First, you need Kitchen. Booo. Unless you want to ruin your bedroom with yum and mess.
Second: Ingredients
Basic: Dark chocolate bar, Butter , All purpose cream, Fresh Milk
Coating: Cocoa powder or Nuts ( I used Mixed Nuts: Pili, cashew, Almond)
Third: Necessities
Stove, Clean Hands and one friend to take the pictures (Haha)

METHOD:
1. Chop the dark chocolate into pieces that will make it easier to melt. Also, chop the nuts for truffle coatings later.

2. On a stove, heat the saucepan. Mix cream + butter (I call it crutter), then heat it up.
3. In a bowl, bring the chopped chocolates. Pour the crutter. Stir until the chocolate melts. I used a porcelain bowl over very hot water which gave enough heat to melt it. If so desired, you can add some milk to blend until smooth.

4. You now have a ganache. Pour the mixed ingredients in a tupperware and put inside the fridge to solidify all through. (Best if it is left overnight)
5. Scoop, with a teaspoon, out imperfect balls of the ganache and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator over some time.

6. Roll in your hands quickly for the heat of your hand will melt it quickly. For its coating, roll it over the cocoa powder or chopped nuts.
7. Take a picture with your homemade chocolate truffles because nothing beats looking at chocolates you’ve made. Happy Christmas!
YUUUUUUM!!!
