Calories: 169kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
- 4 oz (125g) dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 oz (125g) chocolate-flavor candy coating, chopped
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- sprinkles for decoration optional
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper.
- Beat the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in the flour until just combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the miniature chocolate pieces.
- Shape the dough into 3/4"-1" (2cm-2.5cm)balls and place on the 1st baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
- While the cookie dough is in the freezer, use a clean and dry saucepan and heat the chopped chocolate, candy coating and shortening over LOW heat. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Use 2 forks and roll/dip the ball, one at a time, in the chocolate mixture. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the saucepan before placing on the 2nd lined baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles and chill for 20-30 minutes. Lightly drizzle the truffles with the remaining melted chocolate mixture.
- Store in air tight container and refrigerate.
Notes
Make sure all the tools used for melting the chocolate are dry. Even a tiny water droplet will make the chocolate seized (harden) when it is melting. You can also use the double boiler or microwave method to melt the chocolate.
