Well, not really addictive, I can stop anytime I want to... Melt in your mouth chocolate truffles that are almost too good to eat. Next time I am going to experiment with a little instant coffee dissolved in hot water for a mocha flavor.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces milk chocolate

  • cup light cream

  1. Cover a baking sheet with waxed paper, and spray paper with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Melt milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the cream and vanilla.

  3. Spoon tablespoon-sized scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.

Tips

Cook's Note:

I like to use a creamy milk chocolate such as Dove(R) or Cadbury Dairy Milk(R) in these tasty truffles.
