Ingredients
3 cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips (18 ounces)
1 cansweetened condensed milk(14 ounce)
1 tablespoonvanilla
Optional, to roll truffles in:
flaked coconut
chocolate sprinkles
colored sprinkles
cocoa
finely chopped nuts
Instructions
Melt chocolate chips over very low heat. Add the vanilla and sweetened condensed milk and stir until everything is totally blended.
Chill about 2 hours or until the chocolate mixture can be handled.
Shape into 1-inch balls—a melon baller is ideal for this, or you can use a teaspoon. The more you use your hands, the more the chocolate will melt and become a sticky mess.
If desired, roll the balls in coconut, sprinkles, cocoa or nuts. If the weather is over 70 degrees, keep truffles in the refrigerator in a plastic food storage box with a lid until just ready to serve.
Notes
You really need a refrigerator or be in a cold climate to make these—they’re just too soft to serve if you store them in a location that’s warm. If you can’t get chocolate chips, you can also make these by melting milk chocolate bars, such as Hershey’s bars.
