When I have the time, I would make baked goods and sweets for my 5 yo’ son teacher, for Thanksgiving or Christmas or other occasions.

I made some chocolate truffles this time for Thanksgiving, so they are dominantly decorated in Fall colors, of orange and yellow 😀

I will also enter this recipe to a contest on instructables.com 😀 Especially when I topped them with candy corn, they totally scream for Halloween contest 😀

Ingredients

1/4 c milk
2 tbsp butter
150 g dark chocolate
Cocoa powder
Mini Reese’s
Candy corn
Yellow sugar sanding (You can of course, get more festive Halloween sprinkles such as bones, orange sugar sanding, mini bats, etc (Wilton’s products for Halloween are out already, at Walmart))

Heat milk and butter in microwave for 40 seconds, stir until butter melted
Leave it out to cool slightly then add in chocolate, stir until melted
Leave to room temperature, stirring occasionally, until thickened (or you can also leave it in the fridge to speed up process)
Take a tablespoon of firm/thickened ganache, shape into a ball and roll in cocoa powder (or sugar or Reese’s for the next balls)
Place into mini cupcake liner and your truffles are ready 🙂
Serve chilled (from the fridge)!

BTW! For the candy corn truffle, I press one on top of the ball and coat sides and bottom with cocoa powder 🙂
