Cappuccino Truffles

I'm sorry if this photograph confuses you. You should not actually enjoy these Cappuccino Truffles in a big mug as a substitute for your morning beverage. While they might give you a caffeine buzz, and they will surely give you a little extra energy from all the sugar, your dentist and your mom and your waistline would probably all disapprove. So instead, please think of them as a substitute for an after-dinner coffee. Because these truffles have a subtle white chocolate base, the coffee flavor really shines through. I like to add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the ganache, to make them more of a "cappuccino crunch" truffle, but you could use nuts instead, or omit the add-ins entirely for a pure cappuccino experience.
