List of Ingredients




Easy Chocolate Truffles

8 ounces of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla OR 4 tsp favourite liquor

Recipe





Place whipping cream and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat and stir occasionally until chocolate melts. Add butter and continue stirring until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Add liquor or vanilla. Let sit in refrigerator until hard (about eight hours or so). Scoop by rounded teaspoon and form into balls, then roll in finely chopped nuts (ground almonds are heavenly), cocoa, icing sugar, or coconut or dip in chocolate. Makes 36-48.
