Make truffles! They make wonderful gifts.

 

8 oz. chocolate, chopped into 1/4 " pieces, or smaller

1/2 c. heavy cream

3 T. cocoa, or finely chopped nuts, or crushed cookie crumbs, or

whatever coating you'd like

 

Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream in a 1 1/2 qt.

saucepan; bring to boil. Pour cream over chocolate and allow to stand 5

minutes. Whisk until smooth, and allow to cool at room temperature for

an hour. Refrigerate 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

 

Line a baking sheet with parchment, or waxed paper. Make 20 2-tsp.

portions of chocolate in separate mounds on baking sheet. Roll each

portion into a round, and roll each round in cocoa (or coating of your

choice) until it is completely covered. It may be helpful to dust your

hands with cocoa before rolling.
