These gorgeous confections are not as difficult to make as they look. They have heavenly dark chocolate ganache centers with a touch of brandy. After the truffle centers have firmed in the fridge, they get a velvety coating of semisweet chocolate. This coating gives the candy a satisfying crunch when you bite into them. Give your truffles a final coating of powdered chocolate, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts.
