Chocolate Truffles

These chocolate truffles are insanely decadent and extremely easy to make. Plus, with all of the coating options they are fun to make. We recently made these for a party and everyone kept requesting more. We also boxes of these truffles would be a great gift for friends this holiday season.

Ingredients:

3 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 (14 oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Various coatings: such as finely chopped toasted nuts, flaked coconut, chocolate sprinkles, colored sprinkles, unsweetened cocoa, powdered sugar or colored sugars. (Our personal favorite is toffee pieces)

Directions:
1. Melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in large saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
2. Pour into medium bowl. Cover and chill 2 to 3 hours or until firm.

3. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in desired coating and/or decorate with frosting and candies. Chill 1 hour or until firm.
