Ingredients

  • 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar, if desired

  • 1
    Line cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper. In heavy 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
  • 2
    Stir in whipping cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes, stirring frequently, just until firm enough to roll into balls.
  • 3
    Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Shape into balls. (If mixture is too sticky, refrigerate until firm enough to shape.) Refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.

    Sprinkle half of the truffles with powdered sugar and half with cocoa. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week. Remove truffles from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving; serve at room temperature.

  • Like the photo? To serve truffles like this, punch small hole in bottom of silver paper candy cups. Insert an 8- to 12-inch lollipop stick through bottom of a cup and then into a truffle. Wrap thin ribbon around the stick. Place truffle "pops" in a simple silver cup or pitcher.
  • Make truffles up to one week before serving.
