Dark chocolate nutella Truffles

Some wise man once said "there are four basic food groups; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and chocolate truffles". I couldn't agree more. If you have been reading my posts, you probably already know that I am a chocolate fanatic!! Among all its different forms of, dark chocolate truffles are my absolute weakness :) After having the store-bought ones a few times, I decided to try making these at home. As hubby and I like our chocolate with little coffee I add coffee in it. Also Nutella is something I absolutely adore so I added that too in my truffles and the result was a silky, smooth, decadent, sinful, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate delight... mmm!

Ingredients: makes 10-12
Dark chocolate chips ..................................... 1 cup
Nutella ..................................................... 4 tbsp
Honey ....................................................... 1 tbsp
Cream cheese ............................................. 4 oz at room temp
Unsweetened Cocoa powder ............................ for rolling
Method:
1. Melt chocolate in microwave stirring every 30 sec. Keep an eye as chocolate burns easily (it will take about 1 to 11/2 minutes ) .
2. With a hand blender, blend the cream cheese and honey for 2 minutes.
3. Add in the nutella and honey, mix with a spatula.
4. Add in the chocolate and blend for 30 sec until everything combines.
5. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 - 40 minutes. The mixture should set enough to roll into balls, if you are not able to form a ball keep in the refrigerator for few more minutes until you get the desired consistency.
6. Make small balls and roll in cocoa powder. RELISH! Keep the leftover refrigerated.
