Chocolate Truffles

Why pay a fortune for truffles when you can easily make them at home with only a few ingredients. Substitute vanilla extract with any flavored extract of choice (almond, orange, strawberry, etc.) I usually double the batch and make 2 different flavored truffles. Try this recipe; you won't be disappointed!
