Ooooh! Now these sound more like my kind of truffles. I already mentioned in the Oreo truffle thread, they weren't quite my thing. (Probably kids would like them though.) But, I can see using Ghiradelli chocolate squares for these.

This is similiar to a fruit dip, right?

 

[Imzadi]

No, it's not a dip. You scoop out the chocolate with a melon baller or small rounded spoon, then shape them into little balls & roll or dip them into various coatings.

If you get a good chocolate, it is heavenly soft, creamy, decadent & rich.

I'll have to try these.

I made som truffles a few years ago that everyone loved. But, they were a pure accident and I can't remember how I made them. LOL

I imagine that you can use other flavorings instead of the vanilla.

You can use other flavorings. Separate the batch then add vanilla to one, orange to another and peppermint to the next! DARK CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE? yummy!!!!!!
