5) Valentine’s Day Truffles (5 of 10)

Sometimes food is the best homemade Valentine’s Day gift of all. Your sweetheart will love these chocolate raspberry truffles with Valentine’s Day sprinkles.

Ingredients

• 8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 drops raspberry oil (you can find this near vanilla and peppermint extract, in the spice aisle)
• Red, pink, and/or purple sprinkles

Combine butter and cream over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.

Remove from heat immediately and pour mixture over chocolate chips.

Add raspberry oil, and stir gently. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, overnight if desired.

Use a melon baller to scoop out the mixture, then roll it gently between your hands to create balls.

Coat each ball in sprinkles, and place sprinkle-covered balls back in the fridge until you’re ready to deliver your gift to someone special.
