chocolate candy recipe

This decadent homemade Chocolate Truffle Recipe is an easy no-bake dessert option that comes together with just 5 ingredients. These rich and fudgy truffles can be covered in your favorite toppings and a smooth chocolate coating to finish them off!

Chocolate Truffles

(339 grams) milk

(157 milliliters) heavy whipping cream

espresso powder coffee (optional)

sea salt

vanilla extract

Toppings (sprinkles, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, etc.)

chocolate wafers (such as Ghirardelli)

Place the chocolate, salt and espresso powder in a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

Heat the cream in the microwave at 50% power for 60-90 seconds until hot, but not boiling. Pour over the chocolate and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes, untouched.

Stir the chocolate and cream until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours (or overnight) until the chocolate is firm.

Remove the chocolate from the fridge and let it sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature, until you can easily scoop the chocolate without it breaking apart. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to make balls of chocolate. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Roll the balls of chocolate between your hands until a round, smooth ball is formed. Then roll in toppings, if desired.

To Add a Chocolate Coating

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers at 50% power in 30 second intervals; stir after each interval and continue until the chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn. Use a fork to dip the truffle in the chocolate, covering it completely. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set.

To Add a Chocolate Drizzle

Wait until the chocolate has fully set, then apply the drizzle. Fill a small piping bag or Ziploc bag with 2-3 tablespoons of melted chocolate and cut off the tip/corner of the bag. Drizzle and allow to set.

The easiest candy you'll ever make -- you just need a microwave and 3 ingredients!

Cool Whip Candy

(11 oz each) packages milk chocolate chips

(8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

oz dark chocolate melting wafers

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 1 minute. Stir and heat again in 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, gently fold the room temperature melted chocolate into the Cool Whip. Pour into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula.

Place in freezer for 30 minutes. Remove and cut into 36 squares. Place squares on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and return to freezer once more for 30 minutes.

Melt dark chocolate according to package instructions. Remove chocolate squares from freezer and dip in the melted chocolate to coat. (Using a fork works well.)

Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet and let harden.

Store in freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!
