Steps:
- 1. In a double boiler, break up the chocolate squares. To the melting chocolate, add the pieces of unsalted butter, stirring often, until well blended with the chocolate. Add the coffee and rum, stirring well. Remove from heat when thoroughly mixed and add the ground gingersnaps. Mix well. Cover and chill until firm. About an hour and a half or so.
- 2. In a small processor, (or finely chop by hand), process the pecans into tiny pieces suitable for rolling. You can also use powdered sugar, or toasted sweetened flaked coconut, or walnuts. Spread the nuts, sugar, etc. on a piece of foil or wax paper.
- 3. Bring the chocolate mixture to room temperature, about 30-45 minutes to be able to handle the chocolate easily. Use a teaspoon to dig out the chocolate and form into 1" balls. Roll the balls in the chopped nuts or your choice of coconut or powdered sugar. I have tripled the basic recipe, which yields approx. 30 candies. The tripled recipe yields approximately 85-90 candies, depending on the size. Enjoy! (Most of the prep time includes chilling, bringing to room temperature, and rolling the candies).
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher will give you the richest, most intense flavor.
- Be sure to finely chop the chocolate before melting it. This will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
- When melting the chocolate, use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. This will help prevent the chocolate from overheating and seizing.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before stirring in the rum. This will help prevent the alcohol from evaporating.
- If the truffle mixture is too soft, chill it for a few minutes until it is firm enough to roll into balls.
- Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
