Recipe: Own version of Truffles

Looking for a nice gift for your loved one this Valentine? How about making one? Making your own gift makes it extra special. I made a Chocolate Truffles before as an anniversary gift and he loved it. I am sharing this recipe to you guys so hoped you would love it. Spread the love and happiness!!  :) 

Ingredients:

1 pack of graham crackers

12 pieces of chocnut

1 bar butter (1/2 to 3/4 butter will do for 1 pack of graham, as long as it will stick together and can be formed as ball)

a small fruit cocktail

1/2 kg bitter / premium chocolate (I bought one from Chocolate Lovers, Cubao) 

Steps: 

1. Finely ground the graham cracker.
2. Add chocnuts, mix well. ( I used a fork to mix the chocnuts and graham crackers.) 
3. Add sliced butter ( room temperature ) mix well until butter is absorbed by the graham. 
4. Add fruit cocktail 
5. Roll graham crackers into balls, make sure to have fruits inside the graham ball. Set aside and chill in the fridge.
7. Heat chocolate over boiling water until it melted.
8. Coat rolled graham with melted chocolates. ( I used 2 teaspoons when dipping the rolled graham to easily coat the rolled graham balls.) 
9. Add toppings and design. Chill before serving. 

TIPS:

• Chilling in the freezer will give the chocolates a glossy finish. 
• I used peanuts and white chocolate for design. You can use sugar, candy sprinkles, almonds, cocoa, mallows and many others as toppings. 
• If you do not have a an icing applicator, you can put the melted white chocolate in a small plastic and make a small hole on one of the ends.
