Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Coating
- ½ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: Using a double boiler method, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Chill Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for one hour to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle for shaping.
- Shape Truffles: Once firm, scoop the mixture using a two teaspoon measure to ensure uniform size. Roll each portion into a smooth ball with your hands.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each chocolate ball into the sprinkles, coating them evenly for a festive look and added texture.
- Set Truffles: Arrange the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another hour to allow them to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Using a double boiler prevents the chocolate from burning during melting.
- For a firmer texture, chill the mixture longer before shaping.
- Substitute sprinkles with cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for different coatings.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of your favorite liqueur to the melted mixture.
