Dear Chocolate. I properly love you.


Recipe for chocolate truffles

Ingredients

240g chocolate
280g double cream
handful of hazelnuts
handful of pistachio
crushed boiled sweets
shot of rose syrup
white chocolate buttons
cocoa powder to dust
hazelnut syrup (if you have it.. I didn't)

Here's how you do it..

1. Melt chocolate over a bowl over boiling water and mix with cream.
2. Split the mixture in two and add crushed hazelnuts to one, and the buttons and rose syrup to the other
3. Put both mixtures into the fridge to set for two or three hours
4. Once out scoop out spoonfuls and shape into balls.
5. Rolls balls in your toppings and that's it!!

Voila!

Put a few in a pretty box with some ribbon and you've got a damn cheap and easy wedding favour.
(they taste tummy too! yay!)
