Chocolate Truffles!

Chocolate Truffles! 

This was my first time making truffles, and they turned out better than I expected. I had to share it with you! I didn't believe that this recipe would be easy, but it was. Do not be fooled by the fancy appearance, they are simple. Get creative with the coating that you choose. Try cocoa, granulated sugar, chopped nuts, powdered sugar, or even try dipping it in melted chocolate. I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who wants to try something new. 



Ingredients
  • 3/4  c. unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla
  • extra cocoa or powdered sugar for coating

Directions




  1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan on low heat.
  2. Slowly add in the cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir constantly on medium heat until it has reached a pudding like consistency (about 3-4 minutes)
  4. Remove from heat and add the vanilla
  5. Cover the pan and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
  6. Remove from refrigerator and roll into 1 inch ball. Roll truffle in desired coating (nuts, cocoa, powdered sugar, etc.)
  7. Chill for another 2 hours and serve!
