Choco Truffles - Certified Thermomix person

When is the perfect time to have chocolate? Christmas! and what kind of chocolate to have? anything as long as it is choco made...Unfortunately, due to my IC/PBS condition, I am no longer to have cocoa based stuff, so these were made for family and friends, and it seems that everyone loved them!
