Make the Truffle Chocolate
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Let cool slightly for 15 to 20 minutes. This is the chocolate truffle mixture.

Shape
Place the toffee bits in a shallow dish. Roll the chocolate truffle mixture into 1-inch balls and roll them in the toffee bits to coat. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Assemble
Layer 3 truffle chocolates in each push-pop container. If desired, add a dollop of chocolate frosting between each truffle.
