To pull this off, you need to gather some things first. Try to always have everything you need ready and set for you. It's going to be easier for you to go through the whole procedure when you have all the stuff that you require present. For the ingredients, you need chocolate. Go for dark ones. Get the cream ready, the cocoa powder, and the butter. Have a whisk and a double boiler handy too.

Start by getting the double boiler or the baine marie ready. Have it filled with a liter of water. Get it placed on top of a stove under medium heat. Wait for it to be on a simmer. Then you are going to need to add the pan where the chopped dark chocolate is placed at. Make sure its bottom is not touching the water on the bowl. After the chocolate has been melted, add the cream.

Once the ganache has been mixed, you are going to need to let it cool down. Remove the pan from the double boiler and have it positioned on top of the counter for a few minutes to cool the mixture done. Once cooled, get ready to add the butter to the mixture. Get the ganache placed back on top of the double boiler with the simmering water. Mix until the butter is melted. Then, remove it and let it cool.

When you are ready to get the shaping done, have the cocoa powder prepared. Place it on a plate and get the chilled ganache from the fridge. You will need to scoop out small amounts of these items and form them into balls. Then roll them into the coca powder and coat them generously.

Do use the right quality chocolate for this purpose. Try to avoid those cheaper, overly sweet ones. They tend to make the mixture grainy which makes them a little unpleasant to the taste. Go for really good dark choco brands to get great results.
