Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix the cream, corn syrup and butter together in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a full boil. Turn off heat.
  2. Add 8 oz.s of the chopped chocolate, just swirl it and allow to stand for around 5 minutes, do not stir but allow it to settle.
  3. After 5 minutes, add the orange peel and slowly combine with a whisk.
  4. Put the mixture in a bowl and refrigerate for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. In the meantime, line your baking sheets with wax paper.
  5. After 45 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken quickly, keep refrigerated another 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
  6. Use a scoop or a spoon, I find a spoon works better, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared sheets.
  7. Chill until firm, about 10-15 minutes. While the balls are chilling, melt the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate. After it is completely melted, allow to cool slightly before continuing.
  8. Please sift the confectioners sugar into a small bowl to remove any lumps. Remove the balls from the refrigerator. Using one hand, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Roll it around in your hand, allow any excess to drip back into the bowl that will drip inches Place the truffle in the sugar and roll around until covered - if using nuts please make sure they stick as well as possible.
  9. Take it out and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining truffles. Place back in the refrigerator for 10 or 15 minutes to set.
