Rich Chocolate Truffles image

I made these one year and gave them as Christmas gifts. They were the most popular presents I ever gave! I can't remember yield and times exactly now so they are a guess with cook time being chill time.

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 2/3 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup real butter (no substitute)
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
1 1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon liqueur
12 -18 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or 12 -18 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 -3 tablespoons shortening
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • In saucepan, combine whipping cream & butter.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture boils; remove from heat. Stir in chocolates until melted; continue stirring until mixture cools & thickens slightly.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour into shallow glass dish.
  • Cover; chill until firm.
  • With spoon scoop mixture into 1 inch balls.
  • Coating Melt chocolate & shortening over low heat; stirring constantly.
  • (use 1 Tbsp of shortening for every 6 oz. of chocolate).
  • When mixture is smooth remove from heat. Dip each truffle into coating.
  • (I found dr opping them in the chocolate & then fishing them out with a spoon worked best. But work quickly or they will melt) Then either place them on foil or in foil candy papers & allow to harden.
  • Mix powdered sugar & milk.
  • Drizzle over truffles in various designs.
