Holiday Desserts Don't confuse chocolate truffles with chocolate kisses, which is like comparing a Mercedes to a Honda Civic. The real chocolate truffle is a multisensational treat.
Chocolate tends to burn if melted over boiling water.
Use hot water from the tap or water that is short of simmering. We haven't tried martinis, so if you do, drop us a note. These truffles, which make fabulous and elegant gifts, are made with nothing more than chocolate, heavy cream, butter, and the liqueur of your choice. After you master the technique for rolling them, you'll be the most popular party guest in the neighborhood. Remove from heat.
