Prep time

Ingredients
- Dark Chocolate: 150g dark chocolate, chopped
- Unsalted Butter: 50g unsalted butter
- Cocoa Powder: cocoa powder, sprinkles, lustre powder, icing sugar, chopped nuts, for coating
- Double Cream: 150ml double cream
- Milk Chocolate: 150g milk chocolate, chopped
- Flavourless Oil: flavourless oil (such as sunflower), for shaping
Directions
- Put the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl, then put the cream and butter in a pan and bring to a simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until it melts. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge for 7 hrs.
- Put the coatings into separate bowls. To shape the truffles, lightly rub your hands with flavourless oil and roll teaspoons of the truffle mix between your palms - this can get messy!
- Gently roll the truffles in the bowl until evenly coated, then put in a box and chill.Store in the fridge in an airtight container for three days, or freeze for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
