Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Sprinkle truffles with crushed peppermint candies and/or multi-coloured sprinkles in addition to, or instead of, the walnuts.

Variation

Coat truffles with icing sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder instead of dipping in the melted chocolate and topping with the walnuts.

Special Extra

Add 1 to 2 tsp. of your favourite extract, such as peppermint, rum or almond; or 1/4 cup of your favourite liqueur, such as orange or raspberry; to the chocolate mixture before shaping into balls.

" I LOVED this recipe, made different flavours by adding orange, peppermint, rum and coconut extract during the melting process... rolled each in orange peel, crushed peppermints, cocoa powder, and coconut instead of melted chocolate coating. I used a melon baller to get the chocolate close to round, then used my hand for the last shaping so it didn't have time to melt."
