This recipe comes from allrecipes.com Canada. I half-ed the recipe because I wasn't sure how the would turn out. Even half the recipe made quite a few truffles. You can add any extra little add-ins for example mint extract or coffee grounds or roll them in sprinkles, melted white chocolate or cocoa powder. They are dark and fudgy and quite easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 (1 ounce) squares baking chocolate
- 2 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Combine the heavy cream, butter, baking chocolate, chocolate chips, and espresso powder in a saucepan over medium heat; stirring constantly, cook until the chocolate has melted into a smooth and thick mixture. Remove from heat. Pour into a bowl and chill in refrigerator until the mixture hardens, about 1 hour
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Scoop small balls of the chocolate mixture onto the waxed paper. Store in refrigerator until the balls harden completely. Store in a cool, dry place.
