Ghirardelli Sinful Chocolate Truffles

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter.

2. 2

   In a medium sized skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a slow simmer. Set the saucepan in the skillet over low heat. Stir mixture just until chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

4. 4

   Pour the cocoa into a pie plate. Line an airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water and quickly scrape across the surface of the chilled truffle mixture to form a rough 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa.

5. 5

   Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture. Gently shake the pie plate to coat truffles evenly.

6. 6

   Transfer truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.
