Dark Salt Water Truffles
Yield:
30
Seriously dark and delicious truffles with a touch of salt.
Ingredients
- 150g dark chocolate (I used 1½ bars of Green & Blacks 85%)
- 1 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup
- 55ml water
- A generous pinch of salt
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Break the chocolate bars into small pieces and set aside.
- Heat the water and salt in a pan, once it starts to boil remove from the heat.
- Add the chocolate pieces and syrup and stir until dissolved.
- Pour into a bowl and leave to cool, then leave in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- To make the truffles, pour some cocoa powder into a bowl (I used about 3 heaped tbsps) and dust some onto your hands.
- Take a tsp of the mixture and roll in your hands to form a small ball, then place in the bowl of cocoa powder.
- Repeat until you have used all the mixture.
- Place the truffles back in the fridge for another hour or so to firm up, then enjoy!

Do they have to be kept refrigerated, and how long do they keep? Thanks.
Aimee says
They can be kept in the fridge, in a container, for up to 2 weeks.

Math for how much chocolate to use doesn't make sense. 3.5 ounce bars are 100 grams each, so using 5.5 bars would be 550 grams, not 150. I'm very confused and wish if realized this before thre day I eas planning to try this recipe.
