Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter cut into chunks
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour plus 2 tablespoons (heat-treated if preferred)
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers
  • Crushed Heath bars or sprinkles to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips for that extra chocolatey goodness.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the truffles hold their shape.
  • Once the dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Be cautious not to burn the chocolate.
  • Dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully covered. Use a fork to lift them out, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Return them to the baking sheet.
  • If desired, sprinkle crushed Heath bars or colorful sprinkles on top of the chocolate-coated truffles before they set.
  • Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
