Simply Rustic Chocolate Truffles

In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Stir in the butter until melted, and then stir in the chocolate chips, stirring constantly just until melted and smooth.

Remove from the heat and stir in the extract or liqueur of your choice. (This is your place to play, so try something fun! I have also made these with peppermint Schnapps and with hazelnut liqueur! Or you can use 1 teaspoon of your favorite extract, if you don’t want to use a liqueur.)

Pour into a shallow bowl, cool and then cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, until the chocolate is firm. Using a small spoon, scoop out chocolate, roll in cocoa powder and place in a container lined with waxed paper.

These will keep, covered in the fridge, for 2 weeks. If they last that long!
