Marvelous Chocolate Truffles

Indulge in decadent, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate.

 

6 ounces semisweet baking chocolate or white baking bars (white chocolate),

chopped

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/4 cup whipping (heavy) cream

1 tablespoon shortening

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet or milk chocolate chips or white baking chips

Finely chopped nuts or candy decorations, if desired

 

1. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Melt baking chocolate in heavy

2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir

in butter until melted; stir in whipping cream. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes,

stirring

frequently, just until thick enough to hold a shape.

 

2. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Shape into balls. (If

mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.) Freeze 30

minutes.

 

3. Heat shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly,

until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; remove from heat. Dip

truffles, one at a time, into chocolate. Place on aluminum foil-covered cookie

sheet.

Immediately sprinkle some of the truffles with finely chopped nuts or

decorating candies.

 

4. Refrigerate truffles about 10 minutes or until coating is set. Drizzle some

of the truffles with mixture of 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon

milk.

 

Refrigerate just until set. Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight

container.

 

Tips from the Kitchen

 

Did You Know...

The shortening helps set the chocolate coating so it doesn't melt as easily.
