DELICIOUSLY RICH CHOCOLATE
TRUFFLES
 
1/3 c. whipping cream
8 sq. (8 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 c. Land O'Lakes unsalted butter, softened
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
Unsweetened cocoa
Powdered sugar

In heavy 2 quart saucepan combine whipping cream and chocolate. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts (8 to 10 minutes). Remove from heat. Add butter, stir until melted and creamy. Stir in egg yolk. Cover, refrigerate until firm (about 3 hours).

Dust hands with cocoa or powdered sugar. Working quickly, shape teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls; roll in cocoa or powdered sugar. (Dough is soft, repeat dusting of hands to make shaping easier.) Refrigerate until firm. Store tightly covered in refrigerator until ready to serve. Yield: 5 dozen.
