Chocolate Truffle Bites
- 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 6 tablespoons whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- Combine chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe container. Heat in a microwave oven at 50 percent power, stirring twice, until chocolate is soft, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Remove from oven and stir until mixture is smooth.
- Using plastic wrap, smoothly line the bottom and at least 1 inch up the sides of a 4- by 8-inch loaf pan.
- Pour chocolate mixture into pan. Chill up to 1 hour or freeze up to 30 minutes until firm when pressed.
- Sprinkle cocoa over a sheet of waxed paper on a cutting board. Lift chocolate slab out of pan and turn over onto cocoa; peel off plastic wrap.
- With a knife, immediately cut slab into 3/4-inch squares (some chocolates are too brittle to cut neatly; irregular pieces are fine).
- Lift edges of waxed paper and tilt back and forth to completely coat chocolate pieces with cocoa. Lift truffles, shake off excess cocoa, and put truffles on a serving dish.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.
- Nutritional analysis per piece.
