Happy Valentine's Day! Here are some "drunken" dark chocolate truffles that I made for Dan. And here is the recipe.

Of course, I tweaked it a bit. Before mixing in the liqueur, I divided the chocolate into 3 equal portions and then added a tablespoon of different liqueurs to each one (brandy, triple sec/orange, amaretto). I also melted the 8 oz. of chocolate in my small crock pot instead of using a heating pad and bowl (really, Alton?!). These turned out pretty good, but I'm more of a milk chocolate fan. However, these weren't for me anyways and Dan loved them! Tonight's dinner: heart shaped homemade pizza with my big and little valentine's. :)
I'm drooling right now Malorie, honestly. I've been really wanting to make truffles lately too, so I might have to steal this recipe (with the drunken adaptation of course!).
