Alise - Truffle Question

You posted your truffles on FB and I thought they were really cute. How did you get the red chocolate? Did you add food coloring? also, is the drizzle one of those edible pens?

Thanks!

  • omg yes! I made them this weekend too and they're are sooo awkward shaped. Thankfully, these did not fall apart in the melted chocolate like my failed cake balls did...lol

  • thanks!

    You can buy chocolate disks called candy melts, and they come in all different colors. I went to Michael's, and got white and red candy melts, but the white didn't work out too well. As for the green, I got a tube of cookie icing, which is pretty much like melted chocolate, because you have to heat it up, and it dries. It was pretty easy to do.

    I used an edible pen once, and I only did one truffle before giving up.

    I think they come out better each time I do them, but I like to hide the ugly ones by eating them before anyone can see them haha
