Method
Melt the butter in a pan and add the cream.Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to boil.Meanwhile, chop the dark chocolate up into small pieces and place in a large bowl.Add the mint flavouring to the cream and butter mixture and stir gently in.Pour the mixture into the large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until a thick, chocolatey substance is achieved - this is the truffle mixture!Place the mixture into the fridge and leave until it has hardened (this should take about one and a half hours)Take the bowl out and take heaped spoonfuls of the ruffle muxture.Roll (with clean hands) into a truffle ball shape and roll in the grate white chocolate, until the truffle is completely covered.Place on a tray.Repeat until the last f the mixture and chocolate has gone.Leave in the fridge for an hour.Put the truffles in an air tight container, in a cool space, until you want to eat them.They must be eaten within two weeks.
Add finely chopped mint to the truffles if they are being served.
