Chef's Notes

Recipe *Please be sure to use baking chocolate bars and not chocolate chips or chocolate morsels for this recipe. Chocolate chips and morsels are often designed to keep their shape when heated and therefore have stabilizers in them. Because of that they don't melt properly. Storage: Keep the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
