Chocolate Orange Truffles
Rather than sitting around wondering if your honey will bring you a box of chocolates, go ahead and make some of your own.
- 12-oz bag of high quality milk or dark chocolate
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp orange extract
- Cocoa powder or powdered sugar
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate and the cream over medium heat.
Cook, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the orange extract.
Pour chocolate into a small container and refrigerate until set (about 1½ to 2 hours).
Once mixture is firm, use a spoon to scrape up a enough chocolate to shape into a 1-inch ball.
After all the balls are shaped, roll them in powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
Place truffles on a serving tray or use small cupcake papers for a fancy presentation. Store any uneaten truffles (as if!) in the refrigerator.
- Roll the finished truffles in chopped nuts or shredded coconut, or dip them in melted chocolate for an ultra-decadent treat.
- Use the best chocolate you can find for the smoothest texture. (You're totally worth it!)
