Dark Chocolate Truffles: Plain, Lavender, Balsamic & Mint

napafarmhouse1885 has cooked this
"i am not a huge dessert fan...would rather have a little more of the main course...and my favorite way to end a meal is with a bit of chocolate with my last glass of red wine. these truffles fit the bill perfectly...excellent chocolate, either plain or subtlety flavored with my favorite herbs, fruit and/or balsamic vinegar...for valentine's day i thought i would make four of my favorites...a small assortment for those i love." - napafarmhouse1885
