Submitted by Catherine 11 June 2009

An adaption of the cook yourself thin recipe!

Ingredients

Makes 24,,Prep time: 30 minutes (plus 30 minutes chilling time),,Cooking time: 5 minutes,,,Ingredients,, ,,200g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids is good) ,,6 tablespoons Baileys (or espresso or champagne or anything really to flavour!),,2 tablespoons clear honey such as acacia (nothing with too strong a flavour) ,,Cocoa powder to dust,

Method

Melt your chocolate gently in a large bowl over a pan of simmering water before removing it and setting aside.

pour in the Baileys (or flavouring) and, using a spatula, give it a slow turn of the bowl until the consistency thickens. The texture of the chocolate will start to seize and thicken almost instantly.

Add the honey, a tablespoon at a time, slowly stirring

Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the truffle mixture has returned to a nearly solid form.

Prepare a clean surface on which to roll out the truffles and sieve three generous tablespoons cocoa powder onto it.

Scrape out a teaspoonful of the mixture into the palm of your hand and roll into a marble-sized ball, then roll this through the cocoa powder until fully coated and pop into a bowl or jar.

Repeat the process
