Sometimes, we have what are known as Pinterest fails. These Easy Dark Chocolate Truffles were a fail for me. It started easy enough with me trying to make something delicious. I should have realized something was wrong when my carton of heavy cream started leaking all over my groceries, but I carried on. I followed the directions completely when making the chocolate ganache and made sure to chill it over night. After dinner the next day, I gathered all my supplies to make the truffles. I made a huge mess with cocoa powder, which should have been my second warning. I tried scooping the chocolate with the melon baller to make the truffles and I couldn't do it. It was a misshapen chocolately mess. I tried numerous times with increasing frustration and more chocolate on my hands. I tried scooping and then chilling again before rolling in cocoa or crushed pretzels, but nothing seemed to work. The truffles were great, but the frustration level was not worth it. I will be searching for a new recipe next time I decide to make truffles.
