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 shopping list
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- 1 1/2 tablespoons orange flavoring shopping list
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks shopping list
- cocoa powder shopping list
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate shopping list
- 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening shopping list
How to make it
- 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. Once firm, use a small melon baller and scoop ganache out. Roll by hand, using cocoa powder to reduce stickiness. Chill until firm.
- 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
