Critical Success Points

  • Ensure chickpeas are thoroughly drained to avoid a watery mixture.
  • Blend until the base is completely smooth; any graininess will affect texture.
  • Melt chocolate at low temperature to prevent scorching.
  • Coat each truffle quickly so the chocolate stays glossy.

Safety Warnings

  • Melted chocolate is extremely hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use a microwave‑safe bowl to prevent melting plastic.
  • If using a double boiler, ensure water does not splash into the chocolate.
