Cook the Book: Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles
Who doesn't love chocolate truffles? And going through the effort to make your valentine a batch of these treats only sweetens the deal. You can make these with domestic bitter- or semisweet chocolate that doesn't list a percentage on the label. Or, if you're using imported or artisanal chocolate, look for 50 to 62 percent varieties. Additionally, you can decrease the chocolate to 6 ounces if it's 64 to 66 percent.
