Chocolate Truffles (Very Easy)

Choco­late Truf­fles are deli­cious choco­lates, espe­cial­ly pop­u­lar dur­ing the hol­i­days. This recipe is so easy that kids can make the choco­late truf­fles them­selves. It is fun to make as your roll the truf­fles in cocoa pow­der! A great activ­i­ty, and a deli­cious sweet treat for the hol­i­days!

Chocolate Truffles Recipe

I am using the recipe from French Chef Jean-François Mal­let (Sim­plis­sime Desserts). I made a few adjust­ments to make it eas­i­er to make in the US.
