Dec. 22, 2006 - Easy Decadent Chocolate Truffles

I recently made this recipe to take to a party and it garnered rave reviews. They are probably one of the best chocolate confections I've ever put in my mouth. Don't let the "truffle" part scare you....they are super easy to make.

Easy Decadent Chocolate Truffles

6 T butter or margarine

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup light corn syrup

6 squares (1 oz each) semi-sweet chocolate

2 squares (1 oz each) unsweetened chocolate

1 T brandy (or any liquor...I used Khalua)

unsweetened cocoa or powdered sugar

Combine margarine, cream and corn syrup in a saucepan. Stirring frequently, bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate; stir until completely melted. Stir in liquor. Pour into shallow baking pan and refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.

Shape heaping teaspoonfuls into 1-inch balls. Roll in cocoa or powdered sugar. Store in refrigerator or freezer until just before serving. They melt fairly quickly when not in the freezer.

Hi there! I was so glad to hear your children are enjoying their Kenpo classes. The same things you note(reinforcement of values taught at home) are a HUGE reason we stay so involved in the arts.

I'd love to see photos as they advance...

I pray you had a wonderfully blessed Christmas!
Peace,
Angel
P.S. Maybe I'll try this later, after all the sweets I've already enjoyed, a salad sounds more appetizing at the moment!
