Preparation

Step 1

1 - Melt butter and cream together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Turn up the heat just until the cream comes to a boil.

2 - Remove from heat immediately and stir in the chocolate (broken into pieces), until completely melted. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to cool. Stir in choice of flavoring. Cover and place in the refrigerator for three hours, stirring 3-4 times as it hardens.

3 - To make the truffles, shape chocolate into 1-1/2 inch balls and coat with choice of topping. Do this by covering a flat surface thickly with topping and coating your hands as well. Roll the truffles in the topping until they are coated completely.

4 - Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the candy is firm. Keep covered and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Give or Eat!
