In the season of Halloween and all that is sugary and sweet, I thought I would give a yummy candy recipe. This one is fairly easy satisfies that sweet tooth. Enjoy!
Chocolate Truffles
Makes 30-40 Truffles
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon almond, oragne, vanilla or hazelnut flavoring
8 ounces bittersweet dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cacao) chopped into small pieces
Cocoa powder or chopped nuts for coating
In a small saucepan bring the whipping cream to a simmer. Stir the flavoring in, then pour the mixture over the chocolate in a separate bowl. Let stand for a few minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for two hours. Form 1 inch balls using a teaspoon and rolling them between your palms. Place balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate overnight. Roll in cocoa powder or chopped nuts. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
