EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, with overhang on two sides. In a saucepan, bring heavy cream and salt to a simmer.
• Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour hot cream mixture over top; let stand 5 minutes then stir until smooth. Pour mixture into baking pan and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.

EASY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES AKA: COOL WHIP CANDY

Steps:

• In large microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips slowly. About 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each increment until the chips are melted.
• Slowly start folding in the thawed Cool Whip & then continue to stir until well incorporated. (If Cool Whip is not well thawed the chocolate will freeze into tiny bits, ending with texture that resembles a rice krispie treat when eaten. The optimal outcome is to have a center that is light & fluffy like a 3 Musketeers candy bar.) Either way, they are very good.
• Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper or parchment.

• When ready to roll, remove centers from freezer & let sit on counter for just a few minutes.
• Put crushed graham crackers into a shallow bowl, roll each ball to cover and then place back on cookie sheet.
• When finished, put the cookie sheet back in freezer for an hour or two.
