Raspberry Truffles Anyone?

I'm having a little get-together on Christmas Eve so I'm making some tasty things. Today I made some Raspberry Truffles. The recipe is unbelievably simple. The ingredients aren't very expensive. There is nothing to stop you from making your very own truffles for Christmas. The recipe says to scoop out the chocolate once it has cooled. Don't scoop it my friends. You will just end up with hard chunks of chocolate that will not roll into nice smooth balls. You should scrape the top of the chocolate with a spoon until you get enough to make a truffle ball. And if the cocoa powder is a bit lumpy like my picture. Let them sit or a minute or two. Then coat your hands in cocoa again, and then roll them in your palms quickly again and it smooths out beautifully and covers all of the bare spots. I substituted 1 teaspoon of raspberry extract for the raspberry liqueur.

Here's the link to the recipe.
