Make Chocolate Truffles

Start by melting 8 ounces of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Once melted, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours until firm. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can also roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or powdered sugar for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.

Create Chocolate-Covered Fruits

Gather an assortment of your favorite fruits, such as strawberries, bananas, or pineapple chunks. Melt 8 ounces of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, following the same instructions as in step 1. Dip each fruit piece into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Place the chocolate-covered fruit on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate sets. For added pizzazz, you can drizzle some melted white chocolate over the chocolate-covered fruits. Let the fruits chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy!
