Truffles…the easiest and most delicious chocolate candy:

Bring 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to a simmer. Pour it over a pound of chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Cover the mixture and let it cool at room temp. for a few hours (or in the fridge for about 30 min). When the mixture stiffens, scoop out bite-size pieces with a spoon or mini ice cream scoop and roll them into balls. Then roll the balls in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or confectioner’s sugar.

This is the basic recipe, but you can flavor it a lot of ways by adding flavors to the hot cream (vanilla, grand marnier, liquors, almond extract, etc.).
