White Chocolate Truffles
Submitted by Tabitha Rose
14 ounces white chocolate, chopped
½ cup heavy cream
10 ounces white chocolate, melted
Place the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Do not overheat the mixture.
Cool the mixture to room temperature, until it stiffens. Pinch off pieces and roll them into 1 ½-inch balls. Lay the balls on a piece of parchment paper.
Make sure the balls are very stiff before dipping them. You can place the balls in the refrigerator to speed things up. Using two forks, lift the balls one at a time, dip into the melted white chocolate, roll to coat, lift out, and allow the excess coating to drip back into the bowl before laying the balls back on the parchment. Allow coating to set before serving.
Makes 2 dozen truffles.

10-ounce package mini pretzels
5 cups Cheerios
5 cups corn Chex
2 cups salted peanuts
16-ounce bag M&M’s

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Combine pretzels, cheerios, corn Chex, peanuts and M&M’s in a big mixing bowl. In a microwave safe bowl melt chips and oil. Cook for one minute, stir and use 10 second intervals until melted. Quickly pour chocolate mix over cereal mixture. Mix and once mixture is coated, spread out over parchment paper. Once cooled break apart and store in airtight container.
