Time 2h10m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup finely chopped dried red tart cherries
1/4 cup cherry-flavored brandy or liqueur
2 1/2 oz. white chocolate baking bar, finely grated
Cocoa, if desired
48 small (1-inch) paper or foil candy cups

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, combine semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate and half-and-half. Cook over low heat until chocolate is melted, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Cool 10 minutes.
  • With wire whisk, beat butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into chocolate until smooth and creamy. Beat in cherries and liqueur. Cover; refrigerate 1 1/2 hours, stirring twice, or until mixture is thick and can be molded.
  • Spread grated baking bar on sheet of waxed paper. Drop teaspoonfuls of chocolate mixture over grated baking bar; roll each to coat and shape into rough ball. For variety, roll some of the chocolate mixture in cocoa. Place truffles in candy cups. Refrigerate until serving time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my truffles turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the chocolate.

These cherry chocolate truffles were a hit! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. The chocolate ganache was rich and decadent, and the cherries added a nice tartness. I will definitely be making these again.
