Easy & Customized Infused-Flavored Truffles

Close to mine found here

 This has to be one of the EASIEST and one of the most FLAVORFUL tasty little treats I have ever made with the most surprising little  flavor weapon!

I just made these delectable and decadent truffles for my besty on her birthday- they have a sweet and milky chocolate coating with an incredible flavor infusion inside that is silky, smooth with a texture that melts in your mouth.

One of the keys to the success of these candies is *GOOD QUALITY chocolate, I like to use a sweeter milk chocolate for the coating, and a GOOD QUALITY bittersweet chocolate for the truffle center. [I like to use Ghirardelli] That mixture of sweet milk chocolate and true bittersweet chocolate taste plus the addition of my super secret FLAVOR WEAPON makes these truffles an out of this world experience and a very satisfying & gratifying treat for the adult sweet tooth..

*[I use Ambrosia Milk Chocolate coating. It is sold in grocery stores and Amish bulk food stores in my area, you don't add any wax of any kind and is so good my kids will fight over who gets to eat the slivers left from chopping. I melt it over a double boiler low and slow stirring frequently]

...But those aren't  all my secrets...

And what is my SUPER SECRET FLAVOR WEAPON??....

 You MIGHT NEVER guess it...     

Are you ready??

Good Quality TEA!!!

Now that I let the tea out of the bag {Pun FULLY intended BTW!}

SHHHHHHHHHH!! 

Let's keep my little secret just between us friends, ok?? 

I guess it's not so secret since I saw it all over google searching for images bc I forgot to take pics again..but mine are still the BEST EVER!!!

Now without further ado...the recipe!!

Easy Customized Flavored Truffles

• 2/3 c. whipping cream
• 2 T. butter, cut into pieces
• 1 t. light corn syrup
• 2-4 tea bags of choice
• 8 oz. bitter-sweet chocolate, chopped
• Real Milk Chocolate coating

NOTE: I chose Earl Grey bc it is her favorite tea, but you could whatever tea you LOVE, I think Chai would be Amazing, Mint would fabulous, Maple to die for, whatever tea you love would make this INCREDIBLE!!

1. In small saucepan, bring cream, butter, and syrup to a boil.  
2. Remove from heat and add tea bags.  
3. Steep 5 minutes.  
4. Remove tea bags and squeeze out excess into pan.
5. Add chopped chocolate, stirring until chocolate melts and is smooth.  
6. Pour into shallow bowl, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

After chocolate has become firm enough to handle:

1. Roll chocolate into balls by the teaspoonful- I use a melon baller and wear tight fitting non-latex gloves to help ward off the heat from my hands to prevent the inevitable messy hands
2. Place in freezer to keep firm while preparing chocolate coating.

TO make Coating:

1. Melt chocolate coating in a double boiler.  
2. Quickly dip balls in coating, place on waxed paper and shake chocolate sprinkles over the top.  
3. Refrigerate until firm.  

Store in refrigerator up to 1 week  or in a freezer for up to 1 month.  

Makes 30 truffles.
