S'mores Truffles



S'mores Truffles

Original Recipe: http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2011/12/smores-truffles.html

Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups (12 oz.) milk chocolate chips
  • 24 mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup finely crushed graham crackers


Directions:
  1. Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat; whisk in cream and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Chill saucepan in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until chocolate is solid and able to be rolled.
  2. Roll chocolate into 24 balls, stuffing a mini marshmallow into the center of each.*
  3. Chill truffles a few minutes before rolling in graham cracker crumbs. Chill for a few minutes again so they solidify more.
* Tip: I found the easiest way to do this was to roll the chocolate into balls with cold, damp hands, then make a small dent in the ball with your thumb and place the marshmallow inside. Then, fold the ball of chocolate over the marshmallow and continue to roll in your hands until smooth across.
