Chocolate and tart dried cherries combine to form a decadent chocolate-covered truffle in this recipe for Black Forest Truffles. This recipe calls for kirschwasser, or cherry brandy, but if you prefer a more child-friendly treat, the alcohol can be eliminated. You can add a dash of vanilla extract, almond extract, or cherry flavoring as a substitute if you'd like.

These candies, like most truffles, have several extensive chilling periods, so make sure you leave enough time when making them.
