Ingredients
Method
- Pour milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together cream and orange zest and bring to a boil; immediately pour over chocolate chips in the bowl.
- Let stand for 1 minute then mix until the chocolate is completely smooth. Add in orange extract.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 45 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.
- With a large wooden spoon, stir mixture for 10-15 seconds or just until it lightens in color (do not overbeat or it will not be the right texture).
- Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets (they don't have to look pretty). Place baking sheet in the fridge and let chill for at least 10 minutes.
- Using your hands, gently roll each spoonful into a ball.
- Follow the directions on the candy coating packaging and melt chocolate (I melted mine in the microwave according to the package directions).
- Dip each chocolate orange ball in the candy coating and push around until completely covered; allow excess to drip off (I use two forks when I dip these truffles and that way the excess chocolate can drip through before I remove it from the bowl).
- Place each truffle on wax paper; let stand until set. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge.
