Yield: About 30 truffles

Cranberry Walnut Truffles

Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
10 ounces chocolate chips, semi-sweet or bittersweet
2/3 cup cranberries, dried
2 cups walnut, toasted and finely chopped

Instructions

Pour the cream in a small pan. Heat the cream until it starts to boil around the edges.
Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Turn off the heat and stir in the cranberries.
Pour the mixture into a 9 inch pie pan or square pan.
Refrigerate the chocolate 1 - 2 hours or until firm.
Scoop the chocolate with a teaspoon in about 1 inch-size pieces and place them on a baking sheet or tray. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Pour the walnuts into a dish or pie pan. Roll the chocolate in the nuts. Then roll the chocolate into a ball between your palms.
Next, gently roll them again in the nuts.
Store the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

You can use chocolate chips or chop chunks of chocolate into small pieces.

To toast walnuts:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Bake 10 - 15 minutes, until they just start to brown. Larger nuts will take longer to cook than smaller nuts. Check them frequently so they do not burn.

Let the walnuts cool before chopping them.
