Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place ingredients in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Start with cream, then chocolate chips, sugar, vanilla and salt.
- Melt over medium heat until smooth. Stir constantly and pour into a bowl.
- Let cool inside the fridge until set or hard enough to scoop.
- Make your scoops about 2 tablespoons each. Place them on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and place in freezer for and hour.
- Remove scoops, roll into balls.
- Roll in your choice of decoration. Crushed candy cane, cocoa, cinnamon, mini marshmallows. (If you try the mini marshmallows, you really have to push the marshmallows into the chocolate balls.)
- Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and keep chilled until ready to use.
- When ready, drop chocolate ball or balls into 1 or 2 cups of hot milk and stir!
