I made these truffles today and gave them out to my clients as treats. They loved them and they were fun to make. And yes, they were messy! :-)
Making the centers via the microwave worked just fine. But melting the chocolate for the coating using the microwave did not - even though I was very careful in not overheating the chocolate it still "froze up" ... twice.
So I made the remaining coatings using my tried and true method with the double broiler and adding just a bit of butter and cream.
BTW - I love your Baker's Banter and the use of pictures!
Thank you for allowing me to comment.
