Lorin's Truffles

One of my children got these as a gift for his birthday. I'm pretty sure that child was sorry he shared with me.

Truffles

1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg chocolate chips (12oz)
3 Tbls vanilla or flavored liqueur
dash of salt


Gently heat cream and butter until the butter melts. Then stir in the chocolate until melted and add the flavor and salt.

Pour into a lined casserole and chill until firm. When it's firm cut into small (<3/4") squares and roll in cocoa powder. You can roll them into balls if you like. Store in a closed container, keep chilled until ready to gift or eat.


Notes:

You can use all sorts of flavors with this. I used a little orange oil in this and it was lovely. Lorin has used instant coffee granules - Mmmm.
