Handmade Truffles - way too easy!

[Bettie Boo]

These are simply too easy to make and really pleasant for anyone with a sweet tooth

 

5 ingredients - 10 minutes (and I had to ground my almonds)

 

place dark chocolate & amaretto in a bowl which is sitting in a pan of hot water, melt and mix together, add in soft unsalted butter till melted and combined, add icing sugar (confectioner) & ground almonds

 

remove bowl from hot water - let cool, form into small balls, coat with your choice of coating.

 

Here I used 3 different coatings; coconut, coco & ground almonds. I also put cherries in the centre's of the coconut oneshttp://rs1020.pbsrc.com/albums/af325/Bettie-Boo/BraunstonApril2014009_zps9caea4a9.jpg~320x480?t=1397150982

I was forced to test these today when I called in for coffee this morning.

They are lush!

[BlueStringPudding]

That must have been awful for you. I don't know how you coped.

[Alan Saunders]

And, nicely packaged, they are an excellent gift, better than anything that you can buy!

[Captain Fizz]

It was a tough job, but someone had to do it!

Now that sort of cooking I can manage--on shopping list, wonder if could pop some spare(not that have any) rum or whisky or.....hmmm

[Bettie Boo]

I'm sure any liqueur/spirt would do just fine, not sure about Bailey's though??

 

for your shopping list it's:

 

6 oz dark chocolate

2 T Amaretto (I put in a wee drop more)

3 T unsalted butter

1 3/4 oz icing sugar

1/2 C ground almonds

Thanks, I will have to experiment with appropriate flavours. A weekend task.

For the uninitiated, like wot I am, T = tea or tablespoon, C = cup?

[patty-ann]

I'm going for tablespoon and cup cept only have mugs

Q

[Bettie Boo]

sorry Rich, I shouldn't have been so lazy and typed it out properly. Yes T is tablespoon (the abbreviation for teaspoon is normally a lower case t) and yes C is for Cup
