    To me, these truffles are proof that simple recipes can still be truly exceptional! All you need is a handful of quality ingredients, a good method, and a little patience, and voilà, you have mocha espresso truffles that rival the ones you’d see for sale in the window of a fancy candy shop.

    How to make Homemade Coffee Truffles

    Tips and Tricks for Recipe Success:

    • Coffee and chocolate are flavor soulmates. They blend effortlessly, complement each other, don’t overwhelm…. you get it. They just work. And because they are the dominant flavors in this recipe, I highly suggest using the best quality you can find.
    • Do not skip the espresso powder! I used King Arthur Espresso Powder and loved it! One jar will last you a LONG time! And once you have it, you can make other espresso recipes.
    • Use good chocolate! As usual, I used Baker’s semi-sweet chocolate chips and loved the results. You can use other chocolate bars but they can be a bit more pricey.
    • You may use semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate in this recipe, but I do not suggest using milk chocolate.
    • Chocolate chips should never be used in place of the chopped chocolate.

    How to shape Chocolate Truffles

    The easiest way to create uniform looking truffles is by using a small cookie scoop. And because your hands will get messy during the rolling process, I suggest keeping a damp rag or paper towel nearby.
