Cognac Truffles
Ingredients:
3 1 oz square of unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 c confectioners' sugar
1/3 c butter
3 egg yolks (I use the whites to make macaroons or meringue cookies)
1 tsp vanilla or 2 TBSP of cognac
Instructions:
Melt chocolate. Combine sugar and butter in bowl. Cream together. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time. Stir in melted chocolate and flavoring. Chill mixture. Break off pieces and form into balls. Roll in coating.
Air-dry 1 hour. Store in air-tight container in very cool place. Makes
about fifty truffles.
Suggested coatings: ground almonds or other nuts, cocoa, more melted chocolate, confectioners' sugar, coconut, chocolate or colored
jimmies.
Note that this uses raw egg yolks. I find a melon baller to be very
handy in forming the truffles.

I had first seen the milk chocolate variety of these truffles before I encountered the white chocolate version. Now here comes Cognac Truffles. I'm sure this will taste as good. I have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
