Easy Mock Truffles

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Sharon's mock truffles are easy to make, with frosting, flavoring, and coating. Scroll down to see more candy recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 16 ounces milk chocolate
  • 1 can creamy frosting, 16 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon flavoring rum, almond, raspberry, Bailey's Irish Cream, Kahlua, etc.
  • jimmies, chocolate chips, coconut, cocoa, to coat truffles
  • mini muffin cups

Preparation:

The taste is best when the frosting, chocolate and the flavoring accommodate each other. For example, I would use milk chocolate and chocolate frosting with Bailey's Irish cream, or white chocolate with vanilla frosting (or raspberry frosting) and raspberry flavoring. I WOULD NOT use milk chocolate with vanilla frosting & lemon flavoring.

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over hot water or in microwave. Stir until evenly melted. Add the can of frosting and the flavor/extract. Blend well. Mixture may start to thicken. Chill in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

Use spoon or melon baller to scoop mixture into hand and roll in coating of your choice, place in mini muffin cups. Place in decorated box or tin and give as gift or place on party tray.
