For the chocolate truffles, I used this basic recipe from Joy of Baking
I added two tablespoons of Chocolate Curacao I brought home from a scuba diving trip to Curacao and rolled them in a mixture of cocoa powder, powdered sugar and smoked red paprika.
The smoked paprika added a little bitter bite to all the sweet chocolatelyness.

Those look decadent and I'm completely intrigued by the addition of paprika. Thanks for the mention, I'll have to give my pup an extra treat for her contribution.
Wow, the Truffles look gorgeous. First time to this beautiful place, hope to come here more often for these lovely treats. Best wishes.
