      Title: Chocolate Truffles
 Categories: Chocolate, Candies
      Yield: 24 servings
 
           Butter for pan
     12 oz Bittersweet chocolate
           Cut into 1-inch pieces
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
      2 tb Superfine sugar
      2 tb Butter
      8 oz Toasted pecans or hazelnuts
           = coarsely chopped
    1/2 c  Unsweetened dark cocoa
           -powder
 
    Lightly butter an 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
    Combine chocolate, cream and sugar in a heavy medium
  saucepan. Melt together, over low heat, stirring constantly
  with a wooden spoon.
    When chocolate has melted, add butter and continue to
  stir over low heat until mixture has thickened slightly.
  This should take about 5 minutes.
    Add nuts and cook for 2 minutes longer. Spread hot
  mixture onto prepared baking pan and set in fridge for 15
  minutes or until cool but still pliable. When cool, break
  off pieces of chocolate and roll them in your hands forming
  rough 3/4-inch rounds (they should look rough and uneven to
  simulate real truffles).
     Roll them in cocoa powder and refrigerate until serving
  time. These make great gifts. Set them in little paper
  candy cups and place in a box.  Yield: about 2 dozen
