Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick butter cut into chunks
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers
  • Crushed Heath bars or sprinkles to garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Cookie scoop
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Wax paper or parchment paper

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process should take about 2-3 minutes using a wooden spoon or spatula.
  2. Next, pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps the dough firm up, making it easier to roll into truffles.
  5. Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the dough using a cookie scoop or your hands, and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the rolled truffles onto a tray lined with wax or parchment paper.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
  7. Dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the tray.
  8. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed Heath bars or colorful sprinkles on top for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal.
  9. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step; it helps the dough firm up.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate when melting; stir frequently.
