Cooking Instructions

Into a large heat-safe bowl, add chopped Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (2 2/3 cups) then set aside.

Into a small saucepan over medium heat, add Heavy Cream (1 cup) , Pure Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) , Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 tsp) , Ground Nutmeg (as needed) , and Ground Cloves (as needed) . Heat until just beginning to simmer (do not let it come to a boil), then remove from heat.

Pour over chopped chocolate and cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until chocolate is completely melted.

Refrigerate for 2 hours, until chocolate is set.

Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion truffles into balls, then roll between your hands. For best results, use food-safe gloves (this will get very messy!). If truffles start to melt, transfer to freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.

Roll truffles in Candy Canes (to taste) or your favorite toppings. Store in refrigerator.
