Not sure how to make truffles? No worries – this truffles recipe is simple enough, and tastes incredible.
Makes 5 dozen
2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels
1 cup finely chopped pecans or other nut
12 ounces chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and add milk. Add chocolate morsels and pecans, mixing well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper; chill 2 hours. Note* The dough is sticky so coat your hands in flour to help them roll into smooth balls.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler, slowly. Do not overheat the chocolate while melting or it will burn and clump together. Add the corn syrup and mix well. Using 2 forks, dip cookie balls into the chocolate coating to cover. Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Still hungry? Here’s another great kosher dessert recipe for Shavuot.
I just made this recipe but now have a question about the accuracy of one of the ingredients. How much butter should be in it? In the recipe it says 2 cup but now that I’ve been looking at other similar recipes I’ve noticed that all the others call for 1/2 cup to 1 cup of butter. Is there a typo here? They taste great anyway.
The recipe is correct but its a lot of butter and if you prefer you can cut it back by about 1/2 cup and it will not affect the recipe, just make them a little less rich.
Thanks. Everyone who ate them loved them. I got so many requests for the recipe that I’m going to post a link to the recipe on my Facebook page.
