Why I love this recipe
These truffles are pure chocolate bliss. They’re rich and chocolatey, perfectly smooth inside, and have just the right amount of crunch from the toffee. I love making a batch for parties or packing them as homemade gifts!

Ingredients
- dark chocolate
- whipping cream
- vanilla extract
- toffee bits
Step by step
- In a saucepan, heat dark chocolate and whipping cream over medium, stirring for 2 minutes until melted. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and stir.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 2.5–3 hours or until thick.
- In a second bowl, pour toffee bits. Set aside.
- Roll the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls using the palms of your hands, then roll in toffee bits to coat.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate if desired until ready to eat!
Tips for best results
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Stir constantly while melting the chocolate to prevent scorching.
- Refrigerate the chocolate mixture long enough to make rolling easier.
- Lightly coat your hands with cocoa powder to prevent sticking when rolling the truffles.
- Store in the fridge to keep them firm, especially in warmer weather.
Variations
So many ways to play with this base truffle recipe! Coat these truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut instead of toffee for a fun variation. You can also mix in a little almond or peppermint extract for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage
These truffles stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week when stored in an airtight container. If freezing, lay them out in a single layer first, then move them to a sealed bag. Let them rest at room temp for a few minutes before serving.

So is that a whole bag of dove chocolates u use. you have 9 oz not sure what that means
thanks
carrie
yes, a 9 ounce bag
Can these be frozen?
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
Does this actually only make 12, or is a serving 2 truffles?
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!!
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!!
I had no problem at all Donna-I tried them for less time in the fridge and they were too sticky to roll.
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!)
