Desserts are a must for any and every occasion because they are usually the much-awaited part of the event. When it comes to treats and candies, I prefer making truffles because they are so good and very easy to make, plus there are a lot of flavors and versions that you can make with them. You can make just plain chocolate ones or make them more fun and exciting by incorporating brandy or liqueur.

How to Make Chocolate Truffles:
Step 1
Heat the cream until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the bowl of chopped chocolate, and let it sit for 1 minute. Starting at the center, gently stir the chocolate until fully melted and smooth, then divide the ganache into smaller bowls, and stir in the desired flavors.

Step 2
Place the ganache in the fridge and allow it to chill until set. Using a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon, scoop out the ganache, then shape it into a ball, and place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Continue to make more ganache balls, then put them back in the fridge to chill until ready to roll or dip. Once ready, roll the truffles into the desired fillings as shown in the video, then garnish, and let them rest until set. Serve and enjoy!
