Just in time for Christmas, I'm teaming up with some blogging friends of mine for a "Chocolate Challenge" to bring you 6 fabulous chocolate recipes for the holiday season.  Because what's more perfect for the holidays than chocolate, right?

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to see all the other tasty chocolate creations from my "Chocolate Challenge" friends ~ there's sure to be one ... or 6 ... you'll love. Now when it comes to making chocolate truffles, all you need are cream, chocolate ... and some time. Yes, chocolate truffles can be a bit time consuming to make, but the deliciously creamy result is worth it.  Especially if you think of the rolling-and-dipping process as chocolate therapy, like I do.

Chocolate truffles truly are quite simple in their make-up ~ the centers are a basic chocolate ganache, which is just chocolate and cream melted together.
