So Many Truffles

I love truffles. Plain and Simple!


They are the most addicting chocolate thing out there!! I spent the entire day making truffles, not that I'm complaining! I decided to try a lot of different coatings. Cinnamon, Chili Pepper, Coconut, Peppermint, Cocoa, and Chocolate. AHH!
Now without further Ado the Truffle Recipes

White Chocolate Truffle :)

1 cup of White Chocolate Chips
5 Tablespoons of Heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional)

Chop the Chocolate Chips into smaller pieces so they melt easier and place them in a bowl. Put the heavy whipping cream into a small pot or sauce pan to simmer/ slightly boil. Pour the Cream slowly into the bowl with the chocolate. Using a whisk mix from the middle of the bowl to the outside slowly. Once all of the chocolate is melted add the vanilla (Optional) and mix well.
Refrigerate for an hour or until firm enough to form into balls. I used the Smallest Pampered chef cookie scooper to form my balls but a small melon scooper will work. place them back in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes. If they look to big just simply cut them in half (I did this today). Roll them into balls and then roll them in any coating you want. They will melt in your hands a little bit.

6. Cover it with Saran Wrap and let it chill in the fridge for an hour to an hour and a half. Or until it is firm enough to form balls
7. Use a melon or small cookie dough scooper to scoop the chocolate into balls. If the balls are to bi simply cut them in half when cooled
