- Using a double boiler melt chocolate or place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted.
- Dip truffles in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on baking sheet or on styrofoam.
- Sprinkle with chopped walnuts before chocolate hardens then place in the refrigerator for 15-20 to let set.
- Carefully remove truffles from toothpick. Place a small dab of chocolate into the hole where toothpick was removed. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet until remaining chocolate hardens.
Notes
If you find the balls slide off the toothpick, then first make the balls and set them on a parchment lined plate to firm up. When you are ready to dip them in the chocolate insert a toothpick or even use a cake pop stick. This may help in them sliding down the stick. You can even try using the cake pop stick or toothpick just to dip them in the chocolate then carefully place back on the parchment paper and remove stick and then let the chocolate firm. After the chocolate firms if you have a little hole from the stick, just dab some chocolate to fill the hole.
