The ever-popular combination of strawberries and chocolate is showcased in these rich, decadent truffles. I often double the recipe to give as gifts.—Pat Habiger, Spearville, Kansas

Ingredients:
• 4 milk chocolate candy bars (7 ounces each), halved
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup strawberry spreadable fruit
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1-1/4 cups chopped almonds, toasted

Directions:
1. Place chocolate in a food processor; cover and process until chopped. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; cover and process until smooth. Stir in spreadable fruit and vanilla until combined. Transfer to a small bowl; cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

2. Shape into 1-in. balls. Roll in almonds.
To Make Ahead: Kept refrigerated in an airtight container, these truffles can be made one week before serving.
