These truffles are just as fun to make as they are to eat. The recipe makes 60, so enlist some little helpers. It won’t be a tough sell when they find out they can get their hands on some chocolate—literally!
Ingredients
2 pkgs
semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz each)
3
sweet chocolate bars, chopped (4 oz each)
1 jar
marshmallow cream (7 oz)
4 ½ cups
sugar
2 tbsp
butter
1 can
evaporated milk (12 oz)
directions
To make the filling
Step 1
Place one 12 oz package of chocolate chips, plus all the chocolate bars and the marshmallow cream into a heat-proof bowl.
Step 2
Heat sugar, butter, and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed sauce pan until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a full boil.
Step 3
Boil mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Pour hot mixture into the bowl of chocolate and mix well. (The resulting mixture will become firm and cool enough to scoop).
Step 5
Line one cookie sheet with Saran™ Premium Wrap.
Step 6
Using a small scoop, form individual balls and place on cookie sheet.
Step 7
Refrigerate until firm and chilled.
To make the chocolate coating
Step 1
In the top part of a double boiler melt the second package of chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
Step 2
Using your hands, roll the refrigerated chocolate balls until smooth and then place back in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes. (Chilling sets the chocolate to make dipping easier).
Step 3
Rest each ball on a fork and dip into the melted chocolate. Then gently place the ball on a clean cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
Step 4
Refrigerate the truffles or serve immediately at room temperature.
