Notes

It’s really important to use baker’s chocolate and NOT chocolate chip in this recipe. 
Heavy cream must be used, half & half is not a suitable substitute.
Butter is optional but does add to the creaminess and richness of the truffles.
The chilling time is very important since this mixture starts off as a liquid and needs to set fully before being shapeable.
You can also roll these truffles in chopped nuts or cocoa powder.
