Category: Candy
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

3 (1 oz) square unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 c butter
3 egg yolks (I use the whites to make macaroons or meringue cookies)
1 tsp vanilla or 2 tbsp cognac

Melt chocolate. Combine sugar and butter in bowl. Cream together. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time. Stir in melted chocolate and flavoring. Chill mixture.

Break off pieces and form into balls. Roll in coating. Air-dry 1 hour. Store in air-tight container in very cool place. Makes about fifty truffles.

Suggested coatings: ground almonds or other nuts, cocoa, more melted chocolate, confectioners sugar, coconut, chocolate or colored jimmies. Note: I find a melon baller to be very handy in forming the truffles.
