Re: chocolate truffles
My friend made them last year with oreos - I believe she got the recipe from the Kraft website.

i am not the cook in this relationship so this is a big step for me. last night i made corned beef with all the sides. but that was easy, just had to boil a bunch of stuff. i did get a recipe from food network & to me it sounds very simple. however it does take a long time because u have to let in cool. i will be trying to make them soon.

Re: chocolate truffles
1/2 pound good bittersweet chocolate (recommended: Lindt) 1/2 pound good semisweet chocolate (recommended: Ghiradelli) 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur, optional (recommended: Grand Marnier) 1 tablespoon prepared coffee 1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract Confectioners' sugar Cocoa powder Directions Chop the chocolates finely with a sharp knife. Place them in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just boils. Turn off the heat and allow the cream to sit for 20 seconds. Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into the bowl with chocolate. With a wire whisk, slowly stir the cream and chocolates together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the orange flavored liqueur, if using, coffee, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
With 2 teaspoons, spoon round balls of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each ball of chocolate in your hands to roughly make it round. Roll in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, or both. These will keep refrigerated for weeks, but serve them at room temperature.
