Preparation

Step 1
Make 40 truffles according to the recipe for chocolate-port wine truffles, using champagne instead of port. Chill them thoroughly.
Step 2
Break the chocolate in pieces and melt in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave oven. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat or the oven and allow it to cool to tepid, 90 to 100 degrees, stirring it from time to time.
Step 3
Drop the truffles one at a time into the melted chocolate, then quickly lift them out with a fork or a professional dipping loop, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 4
Arrange on a sheet of waxed paper on a baking sheet and refrigerate at least two hours, until firm and cold.
