Amaretto Cream Truffles

Hmmm, I see a new truffle recipe to try.  Let's hope it's not near 60 on New Years so the chocolate will set up.  It could be 60 the next day though.  Once the chocolate sets up it could be summertime for all I care!  We'll try these out and report back.

5oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
4oz. milk chocolate, chopped
1/3 C. heavy cream
2 tbsp. Amaretto
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. baking cocoa
Assorted sprinkles

Place chocolates in a small bowl.  In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil.  Pour over chocolates, whisk until smooth.  Stir in Amaretto and vanilla.  Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.  Cover and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours or until easy to handle.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cocoa.  Shape chocolate mixture into 1 inch balls, roll in cocoa mixture or if desired, assorted sprinkles.  Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
