7. Shape truffles
A melon baller is your secret weapon for coaxing chocolate into perfectly rotund truffles. Start with our favorite pear liqueur- and five spice powder-spiked recipe or these Easy Dark Chocolate Truffles.
8. Core pears and apples
Break out your trusty melon baller to expertly scoop out pear or apple cores. The hollowed out fruit makes for a beautiful presentation, like in the easy five-ingredient dessert above.
