FOR 8 SERVINGS:

• 300 g baking chocolate 
• 1/2 cup water 
• 3 egg yolks 
• 7 tbsp. whipped butter 
• chocolate sprinkles 

Grate the chocolate, put it and 1/2 cup water in a pan, place the pan over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring with a spoon for 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and blend in the egg yolks. Put the pan back over moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the yolks are thoroughly blended. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the butter. Continue stirring as the mixture cools. Once it begins to become firm, dip out a teaspoon of the mixture at a time. Shape it like a small truffle and coat each with chocolate sprinkles.
