Raspberry Truffles

[Pretty in Pink]

I have a bit of a raspberry thing going on at the moment. They are my favourite fruit in the world and I'm obsessed with them.

I came across the recipe on a blog (http://cherrapeno.blogspot.com/2007/06/raspberry-truffles.html) last year and have been wanting to make them for a while. I'm quite new into chocolate making and while making them thought I had ruined the chocolate as it went claggy and difficult to work with, but in the end they turned out very rich and delicious and not too ugly!

In good Craftster style I also sprinkled some dark pink edible lustre over them  , though it hasn't really shown up on the photos. I'm thinking of trying them with white chocolate.
