List of Ingredients

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla or 2 tbl. liqueur


Recipe

Melt chocolate. Combine sugar and butter in bowl and cream together. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time. Stir in melted chocolate and flavoring. Chill mixture. Break off pieces and form into balls. Roll in coating. Air-dry 1 hour. Store in air-tight container in very cool place. Makes about fifty truffles. Suggested coatings: ground almonds or other nuts, cocoa, more melted chocolate, confectioners' sugar, coconut, chocolate Note that this uses raw egg yolks. I find a melon baller to be very handy in forming the truffles.
