Chocolate Orange Christmas Pudding Truffles

Continuing with the Christmas Pudding theme...today I have turned my hand to chocolate making! Something which I will be doing a little more of in the new year... I joined slimming world a couple of months ago and this Tuesday is our Christmas party! Everyone is bringing something 'diet friendly' and these chocolate orange truffles are my contribution. For those down with slimming world lingo they are around 3.5 syns each (70kcal). As they are so rich you really don't need many to get that chocolatey hit. They can be stored in the fridge for up to one week so they could be made any time this week in the run up to Christmas and brought out as an after dinner treat.

Truffles are really simple to make - using the same process but different ratios of cream and chocolate you can make chocolate glaze, chocolate ganache and of course truffles.
