Method
Chocolate Truffle Directions

Melt the Chocolate
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute.

Combine Ingredients
After a minute, stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, and stir until fully combined.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.

Using a small scoop or your hands, form the chocolate mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
