Ingredients
  

For the Truffle Filling

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark chocolate chips.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can use half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Avoid skipping for depth of flavor.

For the Coating

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips Can use almond bark as a cost-effective alternative.

For Decoration

  • to taste colored sprinkles or edible markers For decorating the snowmen.
  • to taste mini chocolate chips For eyes and buttons.
  • to taste orange candy melts or orange fondant For noses.

Instructions
 

Make the Chocolate Ganache

  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Pro Tip: Avoid boiling the cream to prevent a grainy texture in the ganache.

Add Vanilla Extract

  • Stir in the vanilla extract and let the ganache cool slightly at room temperature.
  • Pro Tip: Cooling is key; it makes the ganache easier to scoop and shape into truffles.

Chill the Ganache

  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until it’s firm but still pliable.
  • Pro Tip: If you’re in a hurry, you can set it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Shape the Truffles

  • Once the ganache is firm, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the mixture. Roll them into small balls to form your truffles.
  • Pro Tip: Keep your hands slightly wet when rolling to prevent sticking.

Coat the Truffles

  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until melted and smooth.
  • Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  • Pro Tip: Use a fork to lift the truffles out and tap gently to remove excess chocolate.

Decorate Your Snowmen

  • While the chocolate is still warm, use colored sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, and orange candy melts or fondant to decorate your snowmen.
  • Pro Tip: Use a toothpick to help position the features more accurately!

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Let them sit at room temperature before enjoying.
