DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the butter and chopped chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes to melt.
Step 2
Add the Swerve and extract and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours to firm up.
Step 3
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls (prepare to get those hands dirty...this is a messy business!). If your mixture is crumbly, simply warm it between your palms before rolling into a ball.
Step 4
Roll the balls in cocoa powder or crushed peppermint candies. Eat as is or turn into hot chocolate!
Step 5
To use for hot chocolate, simply heat some almond milk or whole milk. Add two truffles and stir until melted.
Makes about 30 truffles. 2 truffles per serving.
