Have you ever made chocolate truffles? I’m not a chocoholic but I could become one with these truffles.

The ingredients for making truffles are really simple. It’s hard to believe that such simple ingredients could make such a wonderful treat.

1c 70% organic chocolate, pieces
1/2c organic whipping cream
1T homemade vanilla extract (optional)
organic cocoa powder

Bring some water to boil in a sauce pan. In a 2c Pyrex measuring cup, warm the chocolate pieces and cream until the chocolate completely melts. Don’t overheat the chocolate and cream. Use just enough heat to melt the chocolate. Remove from the heat and stir very well. Add the vanilla extract, if desired. Put the mixture into the fridge to cool.

Check the mixture every 30 minutes by stirring. When it gets difficult to stir the mixture it’s time to roll the truffles into one inch balls and coat them in cocoa powder. Store the truffles in the freezer or fridge but serve the truffles cool or at room temperature.

These truffles are great for special occasions or holidays like Halloween, Valentine’s Day or Easter.
