One of the many chocolate treats I served for Halloween this year. Simple truffles rolled in toasted nuts and orange dusting sugar. These are crazy easy to make. In my opinion the easiest candies ever.
For the Truffles
2 cups heavy cream
21 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons Grand Marnier ( this can be left out but you'll regret it! adding other flavors like almond extract or creme de menth is a nice non alcoholic alternative)
Directions:
Heat the cream in a sauce pan until boiling and pour over chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Let stand for 1 minute and then add alcohol, if using. Whisk together until smooth and shiny. Refrigerate until hardened and use a scoop and buttered hands to shape into balls. Roll balls immediately in your coating of choice. Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
