Addictive Chocolate Truffles

By: Love to eat but no wheat 
"Well, not really addictive, I can stop anytime I want to... Melt in your mouth chocolate truffles that are almost too good to eat. Next time I am going to experiment with a little instant coffee dissolved in hot water for a mocha flavor."

Original Recipe Yield 50 truffles
 

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate
  • 1/3 cup light cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons shortening

Directions

  1. Cover a baking sheet with wax paper, and spray paper with nonstick cooking spray. Melt milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the cream and vanilla. Spoon tablespoon-sized scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in shortening.
  3. Roll each piece of chilled chocolate into a ball. Use a spoon to dip chocolate balls into the melted chocolate chip mixture. Return truffles to baking sheet, and chill until firm.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note:
  • I like to use a creamy milk chocolate such as Dove® or Cadbury Dairy Milk® in these tasty truffles.
