It’s been a very long time since I’ve made these easy homemade chocolate truffles. Not quite sure why because they are so very easy.
Each year I make homemade treats for friends and family. These easy home chocolate truffles have been a staple in my gift tins, on and off, for years. It’s a great 4 ingredient, no bake treat that’s easy to get the kids involved in helping.
If you want delicious truffles start with quality ingredients. There are a lot of different quality chocolates on the market. Use what’s in your budget. I advise not using regular chocolate chips as they don’t melt as well. You don’t want lumps or chunks in your truffles.
Find a block or bar of chocolate. Economical brands include Ghirardelli (what I used) and Baker’s, higher end brands are Valhrona, Guittard and Callebut. Since there is not added sugar in this recipe, do not use unsweetened chocolate. Milk, semi-sweet or bittersweet are better choices.
When you use a block of chocolate you need to chop it into smaller pieces so it melts evenly and quickly. You can accomplish this ways. Use a serrated knife to chop it but it can give you larger pieces than you want. I love my chocolate chipper, which can also double as an ice chipper, for the job.
Easy Homemade Chocolate Truffles make a delightful hostess gift or party favor. As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.
