Tips for the best chocolate truffles:
- Use the semi sweet baking bars for the best flavor, however chocolate chips will work if that’s all you have
- Rolling the truffles into perfect balls can get messy fast. I like to scoop out the truffles but only slightly form them into balls, place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet then stick them into the refrigerator to reharden. Then once they’ve set up again, I do a final roll for a perfect sphere.
- Wipe your hands in between rolling every 2-3 truffles. This will help keep the mess down and they will roll into spheres easier.
- Refrigerate leftover truffles for up to a week.
- These taste best when at room temperature- so take them out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before serving.
- Use different colored sprinkles for different holidays! Or you can dust in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or leave them plain- every way is delicious!
- I recommend using nonpareils or sanding sugar to give these truffles a holiday spin. Smaller sprinkles tend to stick better.
One of my favorite ways to make these is rolled in silver and gold sprinkles for New Year’s! So fun and so easy!

Notes
- *If you pour the truffle mixture into a large shallow dish is will cool faster but it really isn’t a big deal.
- * The trick to getting perfect round truffles is to roll them when they are cold- which means keep the mixture cold.
- I also like to wash or wipe my hands off between every 2 or 3 truffles that I roll- it seems to help with rolling.
