Smore Truffles

After many requests.....here is the recipe for the s'more truffles. I made this up so you can tweak it and make it  your own by changing the type of chocolate. This recipe makes 12-15 truffles. Please know that I made homemade marshmallows which you don't have to do. If you want to try it, feel free to visit foodtv.com and check out Alton Brown's recipe for marshmallows. If you want to cheat, go buy a bag of mini marshmallows! These are a decadent, rich treat. Perfect for a gift, get together, or special dessert! 


S'more Truffles:


1/2 cup heavy cream
4 oz bittersweet chocolate 
4 oz semi sweet chocolate
4-5 graham crackers
mini marshmallows


In food processor or by hand, crush your graham crackers into fine crumbs. Set aside. In small saucepan, bring heavy cream to simmer. In a small bowl, pour the heavy cream over the chocolate and stir to combine. Place in refrigerator for 1 or more hours. Chocolate will harden, but still be scoop-able with a spoon. Once chocolate is ready, scoop small teaspoon fulls in your hand and flatten like a pancake. Place marshmallow in the middle and mold chocolate around marshmallow. (you should't be able to see the marshmallow) Continue to do this until all truffles are formed. Roll each truffle in graham crackers and place on parchment/wax paper lined cookie sheet. Place back in refrigerator for another hour or until ready to serve!


Chef's Note: This is NOT a quick dessert! It takes time and patience!!! :)
