CHOCOLATE-WINE BALLS

Adopted this today, obviously needs some tweeking. The wine was left out of the instructions. It has potential. I'll play with this recipe, add the wine to instruction, maybe even dip in white and dark chocolate coating and sprinkle with colorful candy sprinkles. I'll have it ready by the holidays, and I'll post a photo of end...

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2.5 c vanilla wafer crumbs
1/3 c sweet red wine
1/4 c honey
2 c ground walnuts
granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Heat chocolate chips and honey in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted.
  • 2. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Stir in vanilla wafers, walnuts and wine and shape into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar.
  • 4. Store Chocolate-Wine Balls in tightly covered cookie jar or metal can.
  • 5. Let stand several days to blend flavors. Flavor improves with age up to 4 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these balls, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or more) and a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the balls tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before forming the balls. This will help the balls hold their shape better.
  • Use a variety of toppings. You can top the balls with anything from chopped nuts to sprinkles to sea salt. Get creative and have fun!
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate wine balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and a hint of wine, these balls are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate wine balls a try!
