Chocolate Truffles

I found a basic truffle recipe online.  I changed it up a little.  A definite way to go with this. 

Chocolate Truffles

8 ounces semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate morsels 

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp good vanilla extract

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

1/4 cup powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and chopped walnuts

1. Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

2. In a separate bowl, pour in your chocolate, 2 Tbsp powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

3. Once the cream has come to a boil, pour it over the chocolate, and stir vigorously until the chocolate has melted.  Do not use a whisk.  

4. Put the chocolate in the refrigerator for several hours until it sets.  When you bring it back out, you will want to let it come to room temperature to form it into 1/2 to 1 inch balls.

5. Roll it lightly in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts.  Eat one daily. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
