truffles make the perfect gift

1/4 cup heavy cream
8 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup cocoa

In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate and butter stirring until chocolate is completely melted and well blended. Pour chocolate mixture in a shallow container and refrigerate until firm. Line a container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller in warm water and scrape it across the surface of the cold truffle mixture to form a 1/2-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa and repeat with the rest of the mixture. Roll the chocolate balls around the cocoa until well coated.

chocolate covered candy canes


This is simple and beautiful. Dip the hook of each candy cane in melted dark chocolate. Next, drizzle melted white chocolate over the dark to make a random pattern. Tie a red bow upon each base.
