Chocolate Guinness Truffles for Super Bowl Sunday

Here's another recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. Beer, Chocolate & Pretzels! I love Truffles, and they're so easy to make. I've used different types of alcohol, but since I posted a recipe the other day for Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes, I thought Chocolate Guinness Truffles would be terrific for a Super Bowl party! For my Super Bowl, I'm going to roll them in Crushed Pretzels, but you can use crushed peanuts or beer nuts. If you're a purist, you can always roll them in cocoa!
