We boil the sugar with the water. We put the rest of the ingredients in a big bowl, we mix them  and add the syrup. We mix well so that it can be a mixture, easy to knead. In a plate, we pour a little cognac and wet our hands in it, so that they won’t get stuck when we knead. We shape the cake as we want, either round or oblong. We melt the cooking chocolate in a bain marie and steep the truffles in it, by using a fork. We put a piece of greaseproof paper in a baking pan and place the truffles on it. We put each truffle in a separate paper case suitable for truffles. We keep them either in the fridge or in the refrigerator.
