I love the aromas wafting about.

Speaking of aromas wafing.. :)

Decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

• 6 oz  unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 8 Tbs.  unsalted butter
• 4 Tbs.  cream
• 2/3 cup sifted confectioner's (powdered) sugar
• 4 Tbs.  finely ground hazelnuts
• Cocoa, chocolate pastilles, or chocolate shot for covering


1) Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in a heavy pot over very low heat.
2) Stir in the cream.
3) Add the sugar and hazelnuts gradually, stirring to eliminate lumps before adding more.
4) Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.  Form individual balls by rolling about a teaspoonful (5 ml) in between the palms of your hands. The warmth of your hands will melt the surface just enough for the covering to adhere.  Roll in the covering and refrigerate.  For best flavor, remove from refrigerator 2 hours before serving.
Makes about 6 oz

Bon appetit

Whoa; the hazelnut truffles got me......I love hazelnuts. Wonder how they'd be in turtles instead of pecans?!
