OK- John got me hooked. I've never tried truffles before. I used his
simple recipe for Ganache
[1 lb chocolate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 stick butter]

and found it way too easy. [and sinfully delicious]

I just dusted that batch with some Valrhona cocoa.

So now I want to make some more. I want coffee with my chocolate. I
love chocolate covered coffee beans- so I was thinking some fine
grounds of good coffee would be good. A couple tbls per pound of
chocolate? Boiled with the cream?

And what to roll them in? Sprinkles are ok-Chopped toasted almonds?
hazelnuts? maybe. . . - but any thoughts on what might shout "Wake
Up!"?

Note- I do make them tiny- maybe 1/2" in diameter. That way if I
decide to go back for seconds, I'm not breaking the 'calorie bank'.
There is enough flavor in a truffle to satisfy *that* urge, even with
the tiny ones.
