  • ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped

Directions

  1. Melt chocolate in cream in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  2. Pour chocolate into a bowl and let cool at room temperature until thick enough to scoop with a spoon, 1 to 2 hours. (To speed process, refrigerate for 30 minutes, but do not let it get hard.)

  4. Place ball in cocoa and roll until thoroughly coated. Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture.
