Chocolate Truffles

Rich and delicious grown up treats! This recipe (found in The Chocolate Book, and modified slightly) makes about 30 truffles.

Six in a nice box would make a lovely gift. I made some mini truffles as a gift. See P.S. for photo.

8oz (225g.) Milk or Dark Chocolate
4oz (125g.) butter, diced
6oz (175g.) icing sugar
2 teaspoons (10mls) liquer (tia maria, brandy etc;)

For the coating:
Truffles can be coated in any of the following:
grated chocolate
chocolate hundreds and thousands

2. Add the butter and liqueur and beat until smooth
3. Beat in the icing sugar
4. Chill until firm
5. Shape into 1inch (2.5cm) balls and roll in chosen coating.
