these are nice on a candy tray or to give as a gift... and they are on my holiday candy list... the recipe is from the Food Channel Ingredients:
1/3 cup whipping cream |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 1/2 tablespoons orange flavoring |
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks |
cocoa powder |
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate |
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat the whipping cream and butter together just to a simmer, then add chocolate. Remove from heat while chocolate melts. Add flavoring. Stir until glossy and pour into a chilled bowl. Set aside until firm.
2. 2. Once firm, use a small melon baller and scoop ganache out. Roll by hand, using cocoa powder to reduce stickiness. Chill until firm.
3. 3. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until melted; microwave additional seconds as needed. Drop each ball individually into chocolate, roll with a fork until coated, then use the fork to lift out and place on parchment paper. Chill and keep refrigerated
