These Double Chocolate Truffles are about as fundamental as you get in the world of chocolate confections. The flavor is that of pure chocolate. The vanilla extract in the ganache, combined with the milk chocolate coating, keeps this truffle from being too bitter, but the overall flavor is still closer to dark chocolate than to milk. For that reason, Double Chocolate Truffles are crowd-pleasers; they appeal to a wide range of chocolate palates. Cocoa nibs, which are roasted cocoa beans broken into small bits, give a little crunch to an otherwise silky-smooth treat and also give it a little more of an exotic or gourmet touch. Nibs can usually be found in specialty food stores, but if you can’t find them, mini chocolate chips will give the truffles a similar crunch.
