You could also enclose glace cherries in some, or a nut of choice.", "Use a small spoon to scoop out walnut-sized pieces of the chocolate mixture, shape into balls or ovals, and roll each one in one of the ""garnishes"" suggested.", "You could also make up a white, thin icing with confectioners' sugar and water, and decorate some truffles with thin white lines.", "Keep in one layer and keep cool.
