Double Chocolate Truffles

Demonstrated by Jenny Hodges

  • 1/2 Cup whipping cream
  • 1 TB butter or margarine
  • 4 bars (1 ounce each) Hershey's semi-sweet baking chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 1 Hershey's milk chocolate bar (7 ounces), broken into pieces
  • 1 TB amaretto (almond flavored liqueur) or 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • ground almonds
Combine whipping cream and butter in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture is very hot. DO NOT BOIL. Remove from heat; add chocolate, chocolate bar pieces and almond extract. Stir with a whisk until smooth.

Place mixture into a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface; cool several hours or until mixture is firm enough to handle. Shape into 1 inch balls, roll in ground almonds, powdered sugar or cocoa to coat. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
