There might be things more indulgent than chocolate truffles, but the rich, simple treats are probably the epitome (or close to it) of pleasure for a chocolate-lover. The truffles pictured here were made by Johanna, of thepassionatecook, who is hosting this month's round of the food blogging event, Sugar High Friday. SHF celebrates all things sweet and dessert-y, and because it is the season to indulge a bit more than usual, chocolate truffles are the perfect choice for a theme. The only catch is that you have to make your own truffles - you can't go out and buy them. Fortunately, truffles are easy to make and once you have mastered the technique, you can experiment by adding flavors to make them more interesting. I like to coat the truffles in cocoa powder, as Johanna did for hers, but if you're feeling particularly motivated, melting some chocolate and giving the centers a crisp coating will make them look like you actually did go out and buy them. The deadline for the event is November 24th, so read the intro post to find out how to participate.

Now I'll have to go out and buy some truffles or at least the ingredients to make my own.
