Dark Chocolate Truffles

Directions

1. 1
   Chop the chocolate as fine as you can. (Large chunks take longer to melt.) Set aside in a bowl.
2. 2
   On very low heat, heat the cream and the butter together. Bring it to ALMOST a boil, but ensure that it does not actually boil.
3. 3
   Once the chocolate mixture has set, remove. In a small dish place some cocoa powder. Then take a teaspoon, scoop out a small quantity of chocolate and roll into a ball. Then roll in the cocoa powder. Serve immediately or place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
4. 4
   Variation: I like to use coconut shavings as well as a topping in place of the cocoa powder.
