Steps:
- Finely chop the chocolate block or use pistoles. The size of the chocolate pieces is key. Make sure the chocolate is in small pieces so that the heat from the boiled cream can melt all of the chocolate.
- Place chopped chocolate in a large non-reactive bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring cream, salt, and vanilla bean to a boil. Once mixture has boiled and foamed up, immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let chocolate and cream mixture sit for 3 minutes. With a wooden spoon, begin stirring small circles in the middle of the bowl. As the smooth mixture begins to form in the middle, slowly expand the size of the circle until the cream and chocolate is fully incorporated. Remove vanilla bean and stir in butter. Cover mixture and let sit until firm.
- Fill a piping bag or zip top freezer bag with the truffle mixture and pipe into 1 tablespoon size dollops. Allow dollops to set up until they are firm. Roll dollops into round truffles. Truffles can be coated in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, ground nuts, coconut, etc.
- Optional: Add 1-ounce distilled liquor or liqueurs (i.e. brandy, Kirsch, etc.) to butter for additional flavor variations. Distilled liquors or liqueurs add flavor without adding extra sweetness.
BITTERSWEET-CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Chef Jody Williams serves this truffle mixture family-style at holiday parties, with spoons, so guests can scrape off shavings of ganache and toss them through cocoa powder or sandwich between wedges of clementine. It will end up on the table in whatever vessel you chill it in, which could be a pie plate or a decorative platter-it's your house!

These delectable truffles make great holiday gifts. For pretty packing, look for mini foil or paper candy cups in the baking aisle of supermarkets or at specialty shops. While the truffles are still slightly soft, roll them in the desired coatings. Kids might like to help with this step.

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
If the word "ganache" intimidates you, you are not alone. Maybe if the stuff were called "basic, simple and entirely superior chocolate sauce," more people would make it. Ganache is not just chocolate sauce, though; it is also the basis for the easiest chocolate truffles.

Steps:
- Heat cream in a pot until it steams. Put chocolate in a bowl, pour hot cream on top, and stir until chocolate is melted and incorporated into cream.
- Chill until solid all the way through, 1 to 2 hours. Using a chilled melon baller or latex gloves to prevent the ganache from melting or sticking to your hands, scoop out about a tablespoonful and quickly roll it into a ball. Repeat, lining truffles on a plate or a baking sheet.
- If truffles become too soft to handle, place them in refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes. Roll them in cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar or a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon. Serve immediately or store, wrapped in plastic, in refrigerator for up to four days.

Steps:
- Combine the chocolate and the cream in a heavy saucepan and place over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the liqueur, if desired. Refrigerate until the mixture is firm, 2 hours or longer.
- Spread a sheet of waxed paper on a baking sheet. With a spoon or spoons, scoop mounds of the mixture about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter, then use your fingertips to form balls quickly. If the mixture becomes too soft, chill briefly before making more truffles. Place them on the paper. Refrigerate overnight.
- If using a chocolate coating, break the half-pound of chocolate in pieces and melt them in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave oven. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat or the oven and allow to cool to tepid, 90 to 100 degrees, stirring it from time to time.
- Spread the cocoa powder onto a chilled platter.
- Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and, if using the chocolate coating, drop them one at a time into the melted chocolate and quickly lift them out with a fork or a professional dipping loop, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Roll the coated truffles in the cocoa, return them to the baking sheet lined with waxed paper and refrigerate again until firm. If not using the chocolate coating, roll the balls in cocoa and refrigerate again until firm.

BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE-CASSIS TRUFFLES
Indulge yourself! These easy truffles feature a hint of Crème de Cassis liqueur (my favorite). Hint: Make sure to finely chop the chocolate before you begin, or it may not completely melt when whisked with the cream. If there are lumps in your truffle mixture, set it over a slightly larger bowl of hot (not boiling) water and stir until melted.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate in a medium-size heatproof bowl.
- Bring the cream just to a boil in a small saucepan. As soon as it begins to boil, pour it through a FINE strainer and into the bowl with the chocolate.
- Whisk the cream and chocolate together until the chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in the Crème de Cassis.
- Cover and refrigerate until stiff and cold, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
- Scoop up some of the chilled chocolate mixture with a very small scoop, or a teaspoon and roll between your palms to make 3/4-inch balls (they don't have to be perfectly round). Work quickly so the chocolate doesn't melt in your hands. (I just used the small scoop and did not roll in my hands) Transfer the balls to a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, setting them 1/2-inch apart.
- Wipe your hands periodically with paper towels to remove any chocolate left behind from rolling.
- If the truffle mixture becomes too soft to roll, return it to the refrigerator briefly to firm up before continuing.
- Lightly cover the balls with plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator until cool and firm. Place the *cocoa powder in a pie plate or other flat-bottomed dish with sides, and roll the truffles in the cocoa powder a few at a time, until coated.
- Store the truffles in a waxed paper-lined tin in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- *Another idea would be to roll the truffles in a finely powdered nut mixture.
- If you'd like to make your own Creme de Cassis, try Recipe #183432.
