Ingredients

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped*
1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 cup whipping cream
Powdered sugar
Black, orange and/oror coarse grain or sanding sugar

Directions

Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets; set aside. Place chocolate and butter into medium bowl; set aside.

Pour whipping cream into 1-quart saucepan; cook over medium-high heat until cream comes to a boil (4 to 5 minutes). Pour hot whipping cream over chocolate mixture in bowl; let stand 2 minutes. Stir mixture with wire whisk until smooth. Pour into 8- or 9-inch square pan. Refrigerate until firm enough to shape (at least 1 hour).

Sprinkle powdered sugar over clean hands; shape level tablespoons of chocolate mixture into balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets.

Meanwhile, place decorator sprinkles or sugars into small bowls; set aside. Roll each truffle in desired coating. Place truffles in container with tight-fitting lid; refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour). Store refrigerated.

*Substitute 10- to 12-ounce bag of bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips for the chopped chocolate.

Recipe Tip

If mixture is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes and try again.
