Chocolate Delight!


Calling all lover's of chocolate....
These beauties are amazing and hold endless possibilties for creativity. I am not the best baker, so when I entertain I am always looking for something simple for dessert. These look beautiful on a plate all on their own or you could serve them on a platter with clementines and dried cherries or apricots. Champagne is a perfect partner for these amazing truffles.



Chocolate Apricot Truffles
5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
5 oz. milk chocolate
3/4 cup all-fruit apricot jam
3 tbsp. heavy cream
1 tbsp. Captain Morgans Spiced Rum or Apricot Brandy
For Garnish:
cocoa and/or powdered sugar
Heat chocolates, jam, and heavy cream in a sauce pan over low heat. Mix until smooth. Add in the Captain Morgans Spiced Rum and remove from heat.Pour into a container and place in the refrigerator or the freezer until thickened. Remove from the fridge and roll into 1/2-inch or 1-inch balls. Roll truffles in cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
