Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate mixture: Using a double boiler method, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Chill the mixture: Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for one hour until it becomes slightly firm to the touch, making it easier to shape.
- Form the truffles: Using a two teaspoon measure scoop, portion out the chilled chocolate mixture to ensure even truffle sizes. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls.
- Coat with sprinkles: Roll each chocolate ball in the sprinkles to fully coat the surface, adding a festive and colorful touch.
- Set the truffles: Place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another hour to allow them to fully set and firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water to gently melt the chocolate without burning it.
- If sprinkles are not available, finely chopped nuts or cocoa powder can be used as alternative coatings.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
- For a richer flavor, high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips are recommended.
