Chilli Chocolate Truffles

Ok, these babies look simple, sounds simple, but looking at them from beginning to end, are not that simple in regard to time required to finally indulge within them…but worth mild time required :)

=======================================
Total prep-time: 15 minutes (plus a few hours for setting in fridge)

Ingredients
- 400g dark chocolate (chopped) – try not choose more than 50% cocoa dark chocolate otherwise they’ll end up too rich
- 180ml cream Bulla works perfectly
- Cocoa powder (sifted for dusting) this might make it a little bitter when they first touch your tongue so if you’re not into that, use drinking chocolate (sifted) instead
- 1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder (10 drops of Tabasco has the same effect)

How to work the magic:
1. Mix through the chocolate, Tabasco and cream over low heat until smooth
2. Poor the mixture into a dish lined with non-stick baking paper.
3. Place in the fridge and allow to set for 2-3 hours or until set.
4. Use a spoon and your hands to roll the mixture into balls, dust with cocoa to serve
=======================================

The look fantastic when done and they always impress the guests!

Enjoy!
