Truffles

Hey I'm back! It's just been really crazy these days and it was just really bad so sorry for the long wait! So I decided to make truffles today. My very close friend just ended her long relationship with her boyfriend and just to cheer her up I made some bitter-sweet chocolate truffles for her! The bitter-sweet part was just an inside joke between us!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 2 tbsp of pure vanilla extract 
• Some extra chocolate for coating

Directions:

• Chop up all your chocolate and gather them into a heat safe bowl. The finer you chop, the faster the chocolate will melt.

• Heat up your heavy cream in a sauce pan until it is simmering.

• Add you cream over your chopped chocolate and let it sit for 3 minutes. Then, start the stir until smooth.

• Add in your vanilla and stir until smooth. Loosely wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.

• After the 3 hours, use your table spoon and scoop out a piece of the chocolate and roll into a ball.

• After you're all done with all the chocolate, chop up the extra chocolate and heat it over a double boiler. Melt until smooth.

• Drop your truffle into the chocolate and roll with your fork. Lift it up and plop it down to your wax paper.

• Scrape the remaining chocolate and add it to a ziplock baggie, then cut a corner and drizzle across your chocolate balls. Chill for 3 hours. Enjoy!
