Ingredients

Use the best chocolate you can find!

9 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate broken into pieces

2/3 c. heavy cream

1/3 vanilla bean

2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Pinch of cinnamon

3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

Sm. pinch of salt

1 c. confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

Line the inside of 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with wax paper.

In top of double boiler over gently simmering water, melt

chocolate, stir occasionally. Remove from heat, stir until

smooth. Set aside.

STIR CHOCOLATE SMOOTHE...DO NOT BURN!!

(Alternatively, microwave chocolate in

medium glass or plastic bowl at medium power for 60

seconds, stirring between heatings well, until chocolate can be stirred smoothe.)

In small pan warm cream with the vanilla bean over low heat.

First place cream in a glass measuring cup, then split

vanilla bean, scrape it and add bean scrapings to cream.

Microwave full power 60 seconds. Remove from heat and

remove vanilla bean. Gradually stir in cream into the

melted chocolate until smooth. Add butter, cinnamon, cocoa

and salt. Stir until well mixed. Scrape mixture into

prepared pan and smooth top. Cover - refrigerate. (Truffles

can be prepared up to 3 days ahead.)

To unmold run a thin knife around edges. Cut chocolate

crosswise into 3/4 inch strips. DO NOT draw knife out by

pulling toward you, pull straight up after making cut,

holding down chocolate.

Cut into cubes, place on baking sheet lined with waxed

paper. (Can be frozen up to 1 week at this point.)

Place confectioners' sugar in a bag. Add frozen chocolate

cubes to bag in batches, shake. Place on small decorative

plate or sugar bowl. Serve with fresh coffee and pitcher of

warm milk.
