Trio of Chocolate TrufflesE.J. Armstrong

"I like to keep sweets on hand during the holidays just in case someone drops in," says Laurie Schielock of Miami, Florida. "My sister Susan's truffle recipe is indispensable this time of year. The chocolate treats have a rich, smooth texture, they keep well, and they're perfect with a glass of Champagne."

Flavor the chocolate mixture with some grated orange peel or espresso powder, if you like.
