Description: Get ready to go on a mini vacation eating these. Source: S. Chokel Serves/Makes:10 Pieces Ingredients 6 oz (168 grm). semi-sweet chocolates 2 oz (56 grm). unsweetened chocolate 4 tsp (20 ml) heavy cream 2 tsp (10 ml) rum 3 tbsp (45 ml) unsalted butter 2 egg yolks, beaten 1 cup (225 ml) ground almonds Preparation Melt the chocolates and the cream in the top of a double boiler; stir until Smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and beaten egg yolks. Chill mixture until firm, about 3-4 hours at least. Form mixture into small balls (truffles), and roll in ground almonds. Store in freezer or refrigerate until ready to serve. Comments This recipe is easily doubled or tripled. A great after dinner treat with cognac or coffee. I make mine smaller for less guilty eating (no less calories tho) and roll in hazelnuts and use Frangelico instead of rum for an even more decandent flavor. A complete joy to give as a gift. Use for Christmas time or holiday trays of candy or for romantic and special evenings to share with your sweet love.
