This is the super easiest truffle recipe around!

Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. good quality chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli – ½ semi-sweet and ½ bittersweet)

• 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract (or other flavoring – mint extract or almond extract or cinnamon)

• things to roll truffles in: cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, sprinkles, coconut, be creative!

Directions:

1. Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler.

2. Remove from heat and mix vanilla (or other flavoring) in.

3. Put in fridge to cool.

4. When totally cooled and solidified, spoon out balls and roll in your hands.

5. Roll in whatever coating you desire. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

6. That’s it! Easy, huh?

And they are divine!! I made up a batch and packaged them in egg cartons to bring to my in-laws house this weekend.

And decorated the egg cartons with some cute wrapping paper I got at the Target “Dollar Spot.”
