Truffles used to be one of those desserts that I was scared to try to make-they always seemed too “fancy” for me. I would see recipes telling me to use candy thermometers and seemed to need an inordinate amount of attention.
So I never tried them.
Until recently.
And I’m so glad I did.
My husband actually told me these might be his favorite dessert I’ve ever made-can you believe that? Of all the amazing treats I post on the blog these might just be his very favorite.
And they were easy!! Like probably 15 minutes of total work-that easy!

I hope, hope, hope you try these soon. The key is to make them with super high quality chocolate-I always use DOVE® Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Promises (just like with my S’mores Bars and Dark Chocolate Cake Pops!) You can find DOVE® online, on Facebook, and on Twitter.

Can these be frozen?
Melissa says
They can be frozen and will taste fine when you thaw them but they tend to get condensation on the outside as they warm back up so I don’t think they look as nice if frozen first. Refrigeration is no problem. Hope that helps! ~Melissa
Amy says
Does this actually only make 12, or is a serving 2 truffles?
Melissa says
It only makes 12 truffles but you can easily double or triple the recipe Amy-I only make small batches because they are so addictive!!
Donna Howard says
Definitely going to make these tomorrow — have the Dove chocolates all ready!! I have a question, the chocolate doesn’t get too set by putting in the fridge for that long?? I was afraid they would be too hard to roll in a ball. But I’m going to try it!!
Melissa says
I had no problem at all Donna-I tried them for less time in the fridge and they were too sticky to roll.
Amy Anderson says
What a perfect dessert!!

Thanks Amy! I’ve made them twice in the past week-they are a bit addictive (and it doesn’t help that they are so easy to make!)
