The first step is making the chocolate truffles. I’m going to use the double boiler method to do this. Simmer water in a large saucepan on medium-low heat. Place chocolate buttons and cream in a bowl. The bowl should be small enough to fit inside the large saucepan, but it should not touch the simmering water. When the chocolate starts to melt, stir it.

Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract. Mix well. Let it cool. Once it cools down to room temperature, place it in the refrigerator until it sets.
