Looking for a simple recipe for chocolate truffles, seen on TV.
Only ingredients I can recall are cream, and bakers chocolate.

Here's one:
Easy Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients
1/4 cup heavy cream
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, cut in small pieces
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
6 pecan sandies or 1/4 cup fine cocoa

Directions
In a heavy, small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter. If necessary return to heat for 30 seconds while stirring until chocolate is completely melted and well blended.

Pour chocolate mixture in a shallow glass or plastic container and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

Process pecan sandies in food processor or blender to make very fine crumbs, and scatter them on a pie plate. Line a glass, airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller in warm water and scrape it across the surface of the cold truffle mixture to form a 1/2-inch ball. Drop the ball into the crumbs and repeat with the rest of the mixture.

Roll the chocolate balls around the crumbs until well coated.

Transfer the truffles to the prepared container and separate layers with additional wax paper. Cover tightly and keep refrigerated. Makes around 35 small truffles.

Thank you so much!
I will give this recipe a try.

I'm so glad to have this recipe too! I have been looking for this basic recipe for a while. The only difference in mine was that a small bit of Frangelica was added to the mixture, and the balls were rolled in unsweetened powdered cocoa.

Thanks!
