8 ounces best-quality dark chocolate, chopped

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
Chopped toasted salted hazelnuts

Follow recipe for bittersweet chocolate truffle base , stirring aged balsamic vinegar into lukewarm cream. Mix in melted chocolate. Chill truffle base and form truffles. Drop each freshly coated truffle (or just-formed, uncoated truffle) into bowl of hazelnuts; turn to coat.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to whip up quickly and create a light and fluffy texture.
Do not overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing can make the truffles dense and crumbly.
Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
If you are having trouble coating the truffles in chocolate, try using a fork to dip them into the chocolate. This will help to keep the truffles from sticking to your hands.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
