Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until browned and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then chop very finely.
- Put the bittersweet chocolate, semisweet chocolate, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the cream is steaming and the butter has melted; pour over the chocolate, then let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk together until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. If there are any bits of unmelted chocolate left, microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Add the pecans and cherries and stir to combine.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature and then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture is firm but still pliable enough to scoop and roll, about 3 hours.
- Spread some sugar on a plate and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape heaping teaspoons of the chocolate mixture into balls and then roll in the sugar to coat. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- 1. Bake cake as directed, after it comes out oven, break it up with a fork, and add your frosting while warm. I use a small cookie scoop and make several balls and place them on wax paper. You can use any flavor cake mix and frosting you like.
- 2. Melt your chocolate in microwave or a double broiler, and dip each one then put back on wax paper to dry. Immediately put sprinkles or nuts, etc. on top while still wet. I use both white chocolate and chocolate for dipping.
- 3. After they set about 10 minutes, you can place them in decorative boxes or dishes, one cake usually makes about 4 dozen.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the truffles. Overmixing will make them dense and crumbly.
- Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them firm up and set.
- Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
