Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1 cup colored baking chips
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals. You can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. 
  • Add the heavy cream and stir until melted. 
  • Add the butter, salt, and vanilla extract, if using. Stir until smooth. 
  • Place the chocolate mixture in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours. 
  • Once the chocolate is firm, remove from the fridge and use a spoon or a cookie scoop to scoop out tablespoon-size balls of chocolate. Roll the balls in your hand to form a ball. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the chocolate has been used. 
  • Once all of the mixture has been made into balls, Pplace the cookie sheet in the freezer to harden. 
  • While the truffles are in the freezer, melt the colored baking chips and the white chocolate chips, in separate bowls. 
  • Using a fork, dip the frozen truffles in the melted chocolate. Allow the excess to drip off. 
  • Top with sprinkles. 
  • Place back on the cookie sheet to set. You may need to store these in the refrigerator.
