Apricot Truffles image

So easy because you flavor the chocolate with preserves. Only 4 ingredients! Plus the cocoa :-) Haven't tried these yet. Cook time is the chill time. Found in Hometown Cooking Feb 2001.

Time 4h45m

Yield 30 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup apricot preserves
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/3 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

Steps:

  • Cut up any large pieces of fruit in the preserves.
  • Break chocolate and butter up in pieces and melt in a pan over low heat. Remove from heat and add preserves and orange juice.
  • Transfer to a bowl, let cool to room temperature, cover, and chill in the frig for 4 hours until firm.
  • Make small truffle balls; if they get too soft, freeze 5-10 minutes until set. Roll in cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. You can serve them in mini paper or foil muffin liners.
  • Store in a tightly covered container in the frig, or the freezer for up to 3 months.
