Bailey's Chocolate Truffles

By duckieq

Ingredients

• 1 package (12 ounces) semi sweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur
• 1 cup chocolate jimmies, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a double boiler over simmering water, combine chocolate, butter and heavy cream.
Heat until chocolate is melted.
Stir until you have a smooth mixture.
Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla.
Pour mixture into a shallow casserole dish (9×13) and cool at room temperature for about 25 minutes.
Stir in the Bailey’s and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
If you refrigerate longer than two hours, the mixture will be too hard to work with.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a melon baller, scoop out chocolate mixture, roll into one inch balls, and place on baking sheet.
Roll balls in jimmies until coated on all sides.
