Holy cow these things are amazing. They definitely taste way better than they look. And, I got the recipe from South Beach so pretty low in sugar too! 
Green Tea Truffles
South Beach
3/4 cup Half & Half
2 green tea bags, family-size
1/2 lb bittersweet chocolate (60% cocoa), chips or chopped
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Bring the half & half to simmer over medium heat. Remove the half & half from heat and add tea bags. Steep tea for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and carefully squeeze excess into the warm half & half. Return to simmer over medium heat. While waiting pour chocolate chips into a glass bowl. Once half & half starts to bubble around the edges, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Mix until chocolate is smooth. Place in the freezer and remove every 2 minutes to stir until it starts to harden (about 10 minutes).
Place unsweetened cocoa powder in a small dish. Scoop out about 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture and roll into a ball. Drop the ball into the unsweetened cocoa and roll around until covered. Tap excess powder off. Repeat until all of the chocolate mixture is used. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Optional: Right before serving dust very lightly with powdered sugar using a fine strainer.
Magnificent!
