Ingredients
- 1 4- ounce bittersweet chocolate chopped, or 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, bar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- jimmies chopped nuts, cocoa powder or tempered chocolate to coat
Instructions
- Place about an inch of water inside a saucepan and bring just to a simmer.
- Top with a bowl that fits into the saucepan but doesn't touch the water for a makeshift double boiler.
- Pour the chocolate and cream into the bowl. Maintaining a very low simmer, stir the chocolate and cream until they are melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Pour into a shallow pan or bowl and place in the refrigerator until cool (a couple hours) or overnight.
- About 5 minutes before you want to form the truffles, remove the chocolate mixture to warm slightly. Using a spoon, scrape up enough chocolate to form 3/4 - 1 inch balls. Roll into a ball, then roll into your covering--cocoa, jimmies, or your choice of decoration.
- Store in the refrigerator and bring out shortly before serving (think cheese :) )

Notes
- If you chocolate is too sticky to work with, place it back in the refrigerator briefly. If you are really having problems, try rolling the ball on a frozen baking sheet.
