Step-by-Step Instructions
- Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream until it simmers and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Scoop out small portions of ganache and roll into balls the size of a ping-pong ball, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Optional: mix in food coloring.
- Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate and place back on the baking sheet.
- Before the white chocolate hardens, place candy eyes on each truffle. Drizzle with more colored chocolate for decoration if desired.
- Allow the truffles to cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
