I usually make these simple yet delicious chocolate truffles at Christmas time. I like to package them in cute little boxes & give them as gifts to my family and friends. This is one of my favourite Kraft recipes. Ingredients:
6 tbsp butter or margarine |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1/4 cup light corn syrup |
6 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate |
2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate |
if you like alcohol in your truffles add 2 tablespoons of cognac (you can also use brandy, grand marnier, rum, bourbon, kahlua etc) |
suggested coatings: powdered sugar, finely chopped walnuts or peanuts, flaked coconut, shaved chocolate, cookie crumbs or unsweetened cocoa |
Directions:
1. Add butter, whipping cream and corn syrup in medium saucepan. Bring to boil on medium heat. Remove from heat. Add semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolates; stir until completely melted. Pour into bowl; cover.
2. Refrigerate 3 hours or UNTIL FIRM.
3. Shape teaspoonfuls of the chocolate mixture into 1-inch balls (using a melon baller to prevent mixture from melting in your hands). Roll in 1 cup of the desired coatings until evenly coated. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
