Homemade Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

• 30 vanilla wafer cookies (a tube of)

• 1 (397 ml) can condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine, melted
• 2-3 drops almond extract
• 2-3 drops vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon rum or Amaretto (optional) or vanilla liqueur (optional)
• almonds (optional) or peanuts (optional) or any kind nuts (optional)
• chopped nuts (optional) or chocolate, snow to cover them (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Pulverize the cookies completely.

2. 2

   Put the cookie powder in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, except the ingredients to cover them.

3. 3

   Mix well, until it becomes a chocolate mixture.

4. 4

   Refrigerate, covered for a few hours at least or like I do, make them on the evening and let them in the fridge overnight. This hardens the mixture and makes it easy to handle.

5. 5

   When ready to make, wet your hands just enough to work with the paste and make small balls until finished.

6. 6

   If you like you can put an almond or a nut inside each truffle.

7. 7

   Now you can cover them with nuts, or chocolate, or colorful thingies :), or just leave them like that.

8. 8

   You can keep them in the fridge in a covered container for several days, but they also hold well unfridge if eaten within 1 or 2 days :).
