Ingredients:
- 2 squares (1 oz. each) unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1 package (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 container (8 oz.) of Cool Whip, thawed and divided
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Assorted coatings
- Coarsely chop chocolate squares. Place chopped chocolate, chocolate chips,and 1/2 whipped topping in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring at 20 second intervals. After chocolate is all melted, fold in vanilla and rest of whipped topping.
- Spread mixture onto a cutting board. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until firm enough to scoop. Do not let it get too firm, or coating will not adhere will to truffles. Using a large spoon, scoop mixture and roll into small balls with your hands.
- Place truffles onto plates with various coatings. Suggested coatings are unsweetened cocoa powder (you can drizzle these with a little dark chocolate to make them pretty), toasted chopped almonds, chocolate shavings, toasted coconut, sprinkles, crushed candy canes.
