Ingredients

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 cup chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. desired liqueur (optional) - (brandy, amaretto, Kahlúa, rum etc.) or any flavoring (orange, mint, raspberry, coffee)

Instructions

  1. Microwave the sugar, whipping cream, butter, and chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.

  6. Roll into balls, then coat in chopped nuts or cocoa powder.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Tips & Variations

One of the best things about these truffles is how versatile they are! Try rolling them in:
 
  • Sweetened coconut
  • Powdered sugar
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • Finely crushed cookies
  • Chopped nuts
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
For an extra-special treat: Dip the truffles in melted white, milk or dark chocolate and let stand until the coating is set.
 

Soft and Creamy Texture

These homemade truffles have a softer, creamier center than many store-bought truffles. For a firmer outer shell, dip them in melted chocolate or candy coating and let stand until completely set.
