Step 6
Melt the white chocolate while stirring over hot water. Repeat with the milk and dark chocolate. Let cool for 1 minute before dipping truffles in.
Step 7
Using a fork, dip the truffles in the different chocolates, tapping gently on side of the bowl to drain away the excess.
Step 8
Dip a third of the truffles in the white chocolate, a third in the milk and the rest in the dark.
Step 9

Store in an airtight container in fridge

Make sure the chocolate is not too hot, or the truffles will melt and the chocolate will discolour.
Use can use any jam of choice not just berry jam

If you'd like to make your truffles look as good as they taste, then here are a few tips to help you out:

For a professional touch, try coating your truffles and balls in melted chocolate.
To make a number of different looking truffles and balls, try rolling the finished sweets in crushed nuts, toasted and untoasted coconut, chocolate sprinkles, crushed chocolate bars or even jelly crystals.
Line a shallow box with small paper confectionary cases and place a sweet inside each paper case.
Package your sweets up in cellophane bags and tie them with a ribbon for an impressive gift that only takes moments to put together.
