Cupcake Truffles

If you couldn't tell by now, I love making truffles. I've already posted about making Oreo Truffles and Peanut Butter Truffles and I have a few others in mind that I would like to try eventually. I don't know what it is about them. I think they're just cute and tiny and usually pretty simple to make! This time I wanted to try cupcake truffles! I saw them at a store in the mall and instead of buying them, I wanted to make them myself. They turned out pretty good, everyone who tried one said they liked them.

Chocolate Ingredients:

   3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

   1 can sweetened condensed milk

   1 tbs. vanilla

In a bowl or saucepan melt the chocolate chips with the condensed milk. I used the microwave, putting them in for a minute at a time until I had a smooth consistency. 

It'll look something like this!

What you want to do next, is place your mixture in the fridge for a little bit. I left mine in for about 20 minutes. Once it was a little more firm I got it out and started pressing the mixture into these Reese's-shaped candy molds. 

Once you have a full tray done, put them back in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Once it gets close to getting your chocolates out of the refrigerator, you can start making your frosting. I got this one from the Food Network's website. 

Ingredients:
   3 cups confectioners' sugar

   1 cup butter

   1 tsp. vanilla

   1 to 2 tsp. whipping cream

I used a hand mixer to blend it all together. It'll look like this.

Your last step (and the best part) is to decorate your chocolates! I used sprinkles on the top of mine just so they looked more like a cupcake but I've seen people use nonpareils, red hots, and actual cherries. So you can just be creative with it.
