Spooky Black Widow Chocolate Truffles

These chocolate truffles are crafted with a creamy chocolate ganache center, rolled in cocoa powder, and decorated to resemble black widow spiders. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and chill, making it a quick Halloween recipe that serves 12.

Ingredients

8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon raspberry extract
Cocoa powder for rolling
Chocolate candy melts for decoration
Candy eyes for spider decoration
Black licorice or chocolate-covered pretzels for spider legs

Instructions

Make Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth and add raspberry extract.
Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Form Truffles: Once chilled, use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the ganache. Roll them between your hands to create smooth truffles.
Coat in Cocoa: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder until fully coated.
Decorate: Melt chocolate candy melts according to package instructions. Dip the top of each truffle in melted chocolate and place candy eyes on top. Use black licorice or chocolate-covered pretzels to create spider legs.
Serve: Arrange the truffles on a platter and enjoy your spooky Halloween treat!
