Time 2h45m

Yield 15 to 20 candies, depending on size

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 peanut-caramel candy bars (Snickers), frozen
1 recipe Dark Chocolate Truffles, see above, whipped but not set
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 pound good-quality (70 percent) dark chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces good-quality (70 percent) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Pulse the frozen candy bars in a food processor until broken into shards. Fold into the cooled chocolate mixture along with the cranberries. Spread over the bottom of a baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate about 2 hours, until firm.
  • Use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of the chocolate mixture; place them on a parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheet and set them aside for an hour or 2 to let them come to room temperature.
  • Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler and remove from the heat. Use a spoon to dip the truffles them into the liquid chocolate, then return them to the baking sheet. Use the spoon to drizzle a squiggle of chocolate over the tops. Chill until set.
  • In a saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer over low heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate in a bowl and let stand about 10 minutes to melt the chocolate. Add the vanilla and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Then beat the chocolate at medium speed until it gets thick and light colored. Spread over the bottom of a baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate about 2 hours, until firm.
  • Pour the cocoa powder onto a deep plate or shallow bowl. Use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to scoop out balls of chocolate; place them on the plate with the cocoa powder and roll between 2 forks to completely coat with the cocoa powder. Then use the forks to carefully transfer them to a parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using stale or microwaved popcorn.
  • To make sure the popcorn is evenly coated in the chocolate mixture, use a large bowl and stir gently.
  • If the chocolate mixture is too thick, add a little bit of vegetable oil to thin it out.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
  • To make the truffles easier to roll, chill the chocolate mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping them.
  • If you want to add nuts or other toppings to the truffles, do so after they have been rolled and coated in chocolate.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
