Espresso Chocolate Truffles With Toffee
- 12 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brewed espresso
- Crushed toffee bars, for coating
- Chop the chocolate and put in a heatproof bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream, butter and salt to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; pour over the chocolate and let sit until completely melted, about 10 minutes.
- Stir with a rubber spatula or whisk until smooth.
- (If necessary, microwave in 20-second intervals until the chocolate melts.)
- Whisk in the vanilla extract, then the espresso.
- Stir until the ganache is smooth and shiny.
- Pour into a shallow baking dish and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the ganache into 18 to 24 balls, then roll in crushed toffee bars.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- (To make these in advance, roll into balls but do not coat; cover and freeze up to 2 weeks.
- Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before uncovering, then roll in coating.)
