Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 T (⅛ cup) seedless raspberry jam
  • Cocoa powder to coat truffles

Directions

  1. In the top part of a double boiler over simmering water, melt the cup of chocolate chips with the raspberry jam.

  2. Stir occasionally. Heat until the mixture is of a fudge-like consistency, similar to the inside of a chocolate truffle.

  3. Let the mixture cool on a cold burner and then shape it into truffle-sized balls with your fingers. It’s best to roll them fairly small because they are VERY rich.

  4. Roll the balls in cocoa powder and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator.

  5. They are best served at room temp. so take them out of the fridge thirty minutes before serving.
