Recipe: Halloween Truffles (Wilton recipe)

HALLOWEEN TRUFFLES

14 oz Wilton candy melts
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
Halloween mini baking and party candy cups
Coatings (optional): unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut, finely chopped nuts
Wilton mini pumpkins icing decorations (optional)

Chop candy melts coarsely; set aside.

Place heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once cream reaches a boil, remove from heat; add chopped candy melts and cover pan. Let stand approximately 5 minutes, or until coating has melted.

Stir until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until firm.

Roll into balls. Truffles may be rolled in a variety of coatings, such as cocoa, coconut or chopped nuts. Add mini pumpkin icing decorations, if desired. Place in Halloween baking cups.

VARIATION:
To pipe, refrigerate truffle mixture just until it holds the shape when spooned. Place in a decorating bag fitted with tip 21. Pipe truffle mixture directly into candy cups. Decorate as desired.
