CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

TOO DELICIOUS!!!! TOUGHT TO ME BY AN
EXECUTIVE CHEF, BUT I SWITCHED TO
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS. PEOPLE
LIKE THIS MUCH BETTER THAN THE SEMI
SWEET. IT IS SO RICH THAT I MAKE THEM
ONCE A YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS.

1 BAG GIRADELLI SEMI-SWEET CHOC. CHIPS
(11 1/2 OZ)
3/4 C WHIPPING CREAM (LESS A TABLE SPOON)
2 TBSP GRAND MANIER LIQUOR
1 TSP GRATED ORANGE PEEL (I OMIT THIS)

NUTS OR COCONUT OR COCOA POWDER FOR
ROLLING THEM IN.

SMALL ICE CREAM SCOOP OR MELON BALLER

BRING THE CREAM TO A SIMMER (BUBBLES
AROUND THE EDGE, NOT THE MIDDLE). POUR
INTO THE BOWL WHERE YOU HAVE PUT THE
CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND STIR CONSTANTLY TILL
THE MIX IS DARK BROWN. ADD THE FLAVORING
AND THE ORANGE PEEL. COVER AND PLACE INTO
THE REFRIDGERATOR OVER NIGHT OR INTO
THE FREEZER FOR FOUR OR FIVE HOURS. A LONG
TIME COOLING MAKES THE MIX EASIER TO WORK
WITH. SCOOP OUT ONTO A SHEET IN A BALL SHAPE
TO LOOK LIKE THE TRUFFLE. COAT, IF YOU LIKE.
SERVE AND ENJOY.
