Ingredients:  
2 ½ cups chocolate
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla (you can use other flavorings)
Baking sheets covered with waxed paper
Directions:
Directions:
Melt the chocolate and cool to about 100 degrees. Try to keep it at this temperature until needed. Whip cream until it holds a low peak. Remove the beaters and slowly add the chocolate – a little at a time – stirring vigorously! When all the chocolate it blended in, stir in salt and vanilla and place bowl in the refrigerator.After it has set, beat until fluffy – but only long enough for it to become smooth. Keep it cool and don’t let it get soft and runny. To create the centers, use a pastry bag (or cone made with parchment) with a ½ tip. Put some of the batch into the pastry bag and squeeze out pieces about the diameter of a 25-cent piece and about ¾ inch high onto the baking sheet covered with waxed paper. As you fill the baking sheets, place them in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours. Refill pastry bag and create centers until all the batch is gone. When the centers are firm, QUICKLY dip each one in melted chocolate (this is additional chocolate – I’m not sure how much as I always have chocolate left from other projects). You need to work very quickly at this point or the truffles will melt into the chocolate. I pop each dipped truffle into a small paper cup and sprinkle with chocolate decorations. Store in a cool place.

Personal Notes:
This is a good project to do with a friend. Both chocolate chips and blocks of chocolate. A fan of dark chocolate, that’s what I use. But you can also use milk chocolate if you wanted too. It’s not hard, you just have to work quickly when you dip them!
