Dark Chocolate and Orange Truffles

These truffles are simple, easy to make and delicious. This is the simple basic truffle starter also called Ganache. You can develop your own flavor.

For this recipe I used Triple Sec and real Orange flavor extract to flavored the truffles, which is one of my favorite.

For the coating you can also use whatever you have on hand, I had unsweetened organic coconut but cocoa powder, any chopped nuts will work well too. In any event, this recipe speaks for itself so I hope you like it.

Enjoy!
