Chocolate Truffle Heaven
8 oz dark chocolate
1 cup heavy cream, room temperature
3 oz white chocolate, chopped
½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped
16 oz white chocolate
1 chocolate sprinkles
Chop or grate dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt chocolate and cream in double boiler. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Fold in 3 ounces of white chocolate that has been chopped into chunks and the macadamia nuts. Transfer to a covered bowl and place in refrigerator overnight.
Form chocolate into balls. Place on waxed paper and again refrigerator overnight. Allow to set uncovered in refrigerator at least 2 hours before loosely covering with wax paper.
Melt white chocolate in double boiler. Dip truffles and place on waxed paper lined baking sheets. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles.
How many truffles will depend on size you make them. This was a second-prize recipe.
