1/2 pound chocolate
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cups liqueur - any flavor
1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 - 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 pound chocolate for covering
Directions
Melt the chocolate with the butter, cream and liqueur. Beat well to blend together. Pour into a bowl and chill. When firm enough to shape, roll into balls. It helps to roll them in cocoa powder and set on a sheet of waxed paper. Leave in the freezer to chill and meanwhile slowly melt the remaining chocolate. Dip the truffles into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Let set on sheets of waxed paper.Note: This makes an extravagant dessert to serve these with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, hot coffee and liqueurs. This is an easy and delicious recipe for making truffles. It can be varied by the liqueur` used for flavoring and by the addition of fruits or nuts. It also works well with white chocolate
