Homemade chocolates

[Poppi G. Koullias]

How may I achieve that lovely gloss on chocolate that I wish to cover my (extremely scrumptious) diabetic truffles? I'm sorely tempted to leave it off and instead pop them, all rough, into my piggy lil' mouth.

I'm delighted to! I sourced the truffles from here:

and very good they are, too!
