How To Make Chocolate Truffles - When your truffle 'dough' has set, remove it from the refrigerator or freezer and use a 1 oz cookie scoop to portion it out. I like to roll the balls of dough in my hands to create a perfect sphere, but if you're in a rush and don't mind them being flat on the bottom, that's ok, too! Toss the 1 oz sphere of chocolate truffle into your processed walnuts and toss until coated.
