Ingredients:
3 1 oz   square of unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 c  confectioners’ sugar
1/3 c    butter
3        egg yolks (I use the whites to make macaroons or meringue cookies)
1 tsp    vanilla or 2 TBSP of cognac

Instructions:
Melt chocolate.  Combine sugar and butter in bowl.  Cream together.  Add egg yolks, 1 at a time.  Stir in melted chocolate and flavoring.  Chill mixture.  Break off pieces and form into balls.  Roll in coating.
Air-dry 1 hour.  Store in air-tight container in very cool place.  Makes
about fifty truffles.

Suggested coatings:  ground almonds or other nuts, cocoa, more melted chocolate, confectioners’ sugar, coconut, chocolate or colored
jimmies.

Note that this uses raw egg yolks.  I find a melon baller to be very
handy in forming the truffles.
