German Chocolate Truffles

Course: Candy & Confections

Ingredients

  • 1 Recipe German Chocolate Filling
  • 12 Ounces Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tablespoons Paraffin or Shortening

Instructions

  • Prepare German Chocolate Filling. Freeze overnight.
  • In double boiler, heat chocolate and parrafin over simmering water. Stir frequently until melted. Line baking sheet with wax paper. Form cold German Chocolate Filling into small balls and dip in chocolate. Place on wax paper. Repeat until tray is full, then put into the freezer.
  • Once candies are set, dip them in chocolate a second time and freeze. (Note: This second dipping is important since a single coating of chocolate does not have enough stability to hold the truffle together.)
  • Continue until all German Chocolate Filling is used up. You may need to melt more chocolate/parrafin to finish. If you don't have or want to use parrafin, you may substitute shortening; however, the final product will not be as glossy and will have a more grainy texture.
