<p><strong>Chocolate Truffles </strong>are fancy little <strong>chocolate balls</strong> often coated with powdered sugar, nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips and so on. If you have a <strong>chocolate drink powder</strong> like <strong>Nesquik</strong>, you can make these lovely truffles at home. You can read more about the origin of Chocolate Truffles <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_truffle"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>

<p>You can prepare these truffles as a treat for your kids or for parties. I have used <strong>Crackers </strong>and <strong>Peanuts </strong>for making these truffles. For variety, try using different nuts like almonds, cashews and you can even try dried fruit bits. I didn’t coat my truffles except for one which I coated with <strong>Cake Decor Sprinkles</strong>. Try experimenting with different coatings like Dessicated Coconut, Confectioner’s Sugar and so on. These pictures were taken after rolling them into balls and before freezing. So the truffles are a bit moist. After they are frozen, they will no longer appear moist.</p>
