Oh Golly, the Chocolate.

Easy recipe for truffles:



10-12 oz. of good quality dark chocolate (we use Ghirardelli 60% Dark)

2 Tbsp. butter



Pour 1 C. heavy cream, scalded and hot, over the chocolate and butter. Cover and let sit 5 minutes or until chocolate is melted. Whisk until smooth. Add any flavoring at this point too. Vanilla is good, but so is mint, or Bailey's, or Frangellica, or orange zest. Put the bowl in the fridge for several hours or until the chocolate is thick enough to scoop. Be sure to dip your finger in the bowl and lick it several times. It's especially good when the chocolate has thickened enough that lots sticks to your finger.



Scoop thickened chocolate into balls, roll them into nice round shapes if you want. Freeze for 20 minutes. Now, dip in melted chocolate, roll in nuts or cocoa, or just eat. Super easy and so good. No pictures to share because we ate the examples!
