I made these for my parents and in-laws as part of their Christmas sweet treats. I rolled half in cocoa powder and half in powdered sugar. I did try one, rolled in cocoa powder, and didn’t really like it. It was OK, but I guess I’m not a fan of bittersweet chocolate. I think that I should use semi-sweet chocolate to see how that works; it would probably be more pleasing to my palette.
Ingredients
· 1 bag bittersweet chocolate chip
(or 12 oz. chopped)
· 1/3 cup heavy cream
· 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium
heat, combine chocolate and cream. Cook, stirring, until chocolate is melted
and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla.
2. Pour into a small dish and
refrigerate until set, but not hard, 1 ½ - 2 hours.
3. Roll into balls and dip into
toppings.
I also might try to roll them into different toppings, the cocoa powder might not have been such a good choice.
