But if you are making a batch or truffles at home then this is one of the easiest ones to make some delicious chocolate truffles! You will need ¼ cup thickened cream, 400g dark chocolate, 2x55g chocolate coated Turkish delight bars (finely chopped) and 50g chopped white chocolate.

Then microwave it as uncovered on medium for 2-3 minutes followed by stirring every minute so that it doesn’t get burnt. Then cool it for 15 minutes and stir in the Turkish delight. Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for 3-4 hours or until firm. Line a tray with baking paper and roll heaped teaspoons of Turkish delight mixture into balls. Place them on prepared tray.

You can add different flavors of chocolate coating on these truffles. Once you are done with the coating, then you have to refrigerate them and then serve.

Start with inserting a toothpick into the Styrofoam cone. Press each truffle on the end of the toothpick and repeat until the entire cone is filled with the truffles. Make sure that you have enough truffles to fill the cone. You can also add strawberries or other chocolates if you want to make it a mix and match.
