50g butter/hard margarine
50g cocoa powder
100g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
Press all the ingredients together
with the back of a spoon, this takes a while but eventually the mixture comes
together and gradually changes colour. Then add the flavouring. Roll a small
amount of the mixture into a ball and then pinch a nose shape in one side of
the ball. Flatten the bottom of the ball by gently pressing down onto a flat
surface. Using chocolate buttons cut into quarters push the rounded end of the
buttons into the truffle leaving the spiky ends protruding to give the effect
of spines. Small broken bits of chocolate can be used for eyes and the end of
the nose.
Place in the fridge to cool.
(Preferably overnight).
