Chocolate Truffles

My younger brother came back home last weekend. He told me to make something for him to bring back to his college. Well, it was 4 hours and less until he had to go back to college. I haven't got the time to plan anything. Then, I remembered that I still have some chocolates and cream left from my Oat Truffle. So, I made him some Chocolate Truffle instead. I had some melted chocolate left, so I made him some Almond T'ings too :)
