WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE EASY HOT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES?
This recipe makes 24 hot cocoa truffles depending on the size you roll them. They take just 10 minutes to make and one hour to cool.
HOW TO MAKE TRUFFLES
In a medium-sized pan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat.
Mix the two together until the chocolate chips start to melt and you get a smooth consistency.
Pour mixture into a parchment lined loaf pan.
Cover with saran wrap and place the truffle mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until the mixture is solid.
With a cookie scoop, form balls from the mixture. If the truffle mixture begins to melt, place it back into the refrigerator to chill a bit more.
Roll the truffle in hot chocolate powder. You will end up with some mini marshmallows on them too!
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
One of these sweet truffles goes a long way. I like to take small bites and really enjoy the flavor of these truffles that just melt in your mouth.
