Chocolate Truffles (adapted from Kraft)
time: 2 1/2 hours or more, 2 hours chilling time
Ingredients
16 squares Baker's Chocolate (70% cacao dark, or maybe try using bittersweet or milk, or white!)
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp butter
icing sugar, chopped walnuts, sprinkles, etc
Chop 8 squares of chocolate, place in a microwave safe bowl, add cream and butter, and microwave on medium heat for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (it needed longer, I ended up freezing it till solid, then nuked it for 30 seconds or so, stirred it again, and waited. It solidified to working consistency within minutes)
Shape into 24 balls and place on waxed paper covered tray.
Melt remaining chocolate (do only 2 squares to start, then 1 at a time till everything is done so you don't melt more than you need), use a toothpick (or fork) to dip the truffles into the chocolate. Sprinkle with nuts/sprinkles. Or instead of dipping and sprinkling, roll in icing sugar or cocoa or sprinkles. Chill for another hour in the fridge

Mmm, yum, looks good! My sister & I made truffles this Christmas for our first time. The recipe was quite different, but they were soooo good! I've got to make those again soon.
