{Double Chocolate Truffles!}

I have a huge sweet tooth. 

As I type, I am loving on a dark chocolate covered frozen banana!

 So I have begun this ‘homemaking’ journey by making some delicious double chocolate truffles with sea salt. All credit to:ColemansInLove .

Ingredients:

16 oz of dark chocolate {for the inner layer of your truffle}

1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

1 tbsp of vanilla extract

8 oz of meltable milk chocolate

sea salt for sprinkling

I

Place all of the dark chocolate in your double boiler. {Mine was simply a bowl atop a pot. Make sure steam can be released.} Heat on medium low until all chocolate is melted. For me, this took a while. Don’t get impatient or it will burn!

II

Add your can of condensed milk & vanilla. Stir to combine.

III

Remove from heat. Cover & refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.(I couldn’t wait, so two hours passed…)

IV

Once removed from fridge, your chocolate should be cooled enough to work with & roll into small balls. The chocolate shouldn’t be really sticky. If it is, just put it back in and check on it in 15 minutes. I rolled a few balls with the thicker chocolate and put them on some wax paper and put them back in the fridge. I also put the rest of the dark chocolate back in to harden, and started with number 5.

V

Melt your milk chocolate on your double boiler & roll chocolate balls around until coated. A fork seemed to work well for me to help prevent huge blobs of chocolate. After a while, my milk chocolate started to get clumpy, probably because I got impatient and turned up the heat.

VI

Place on a pan covered in wax or parchment paper & sprinkle with sea salt. (Don’t be too generous with the salt.)

Makes about 45-50 truffles.

I gave a large portion of these away as a house warming gift, and they seemed to really appreciate it!

I have many more recipes to post, so hopefully I'll stay diligent.
