Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Monster Truffles:
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Let the mixture cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm.
Once the mixture is firm, use a melon baller or your hands to scoop out small amounts and roll them into balls.
Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or crushed nuts as desired.
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.
