Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Bailey's Irish Cream
  • 10 oz High Quality Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • Small Sprinkles or Colored Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl.
  • In a small saucepan bring the butter and the heavy cream (not the Irish Cream) to a gentle boil. 
  • Pour the heated cream and butter over the chocolate chips and start stirring. The heat from the cream, butter combo should be enough to melt the chips fully. However if you still have a few lumps, microwave in 15 seconds intervals until completely smooth.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted and it smooth, add the Baileys and stir until it’s completely incorporated and the chocolate is smooth again.
  • Refrigerate until firm, around 2 hours.
  • Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a spoon, take small bits of ganache and roll it in your palms to make 1″ balls. Place formed balls on cookie sheets. Work quickly to keep the chocolate from melting.
  • Place formed balls back in refrigerator to cool for 15-20 minutes.

Decorating the Truffles

  • Pour colored sugar or sprinkles into a small bowl.
  • Roll each truffle in sugar until it’s fully coated. If the sugar isn’t sticking, allow the truffle to warm up a few minutes and try again.

Notes

***Because these aren’t cooked and evaporation is limited these truffles still contain alcohol. Enjoy them responsibly and don’t let the kids get into them!***
