butterfinger truffles

okay this was the second recipe i chose. i've started making some candy (almond roca, carmel candies) but i have never ventured to making truffles, they always looked way too complicated. but after reading the recipe (... and saw how short the ingredient list was and no oven time) i thought i'd give it a try. i'm stepping out of my baking comfort zone on these ...

recipe
10oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
1tbs. unsalted butter
1c heavy cream
11/2c chopped butterfinger candy bars (about 8oz.)
4tsp. unsweetened coca powder
chopped/ peanut halves

place the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl. bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. then pour it over the chocolate. let stand for 1 minutes before stirring together. once the mixture is smooth then stir in the chopped candy. cover and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
line a baking sheet with foil. using a melon baller scoop 3/4'' balls from the chocolate mixture. roll the truffles in cocoa powder. garnish with a chopped or half peanut. chill again until firm.

again from bon appétit. okay so not the typical looking truffle but pretty damn close. i say they look yummy and homemade. and they are really good! the butterfinger makes it and adds some crunch. some suggestions for next time: try chilling overnight to make it easier when scooping, do a better job rolling the chocolate in a more ball-like shape, get ready to make a real mess in the kitchen when dousing in the powder so prepare the tupperware before hand. but a good first truffle recipe.
