Title: Chocolate-Cashew Truffles
Categories: Five, Chocolate, Nuts, Dairy
Yield: 20 Servings

8 oz Bittersweet chocolate;
- chopped
1/2 c Half & half, light cream,
- or whole milk
1 tb Pure maple syrup
3/4 c Whole unsalted cashews
1/4 ts Coarse salt

Place chocolate in a medium bowl; set aside. In a small
saucepan bring half-and-half just to boiling; pour over
chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in maple
syrup. Cover; freeze about 2 hours or until firm.

Meanwhile, Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Place cashews in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 8 to 10
minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Set aside 40
whole cashews. In a food processor combine the remaining
cashews and the salt. Cover and process with several
on/off pulses until nuts are finely chopped. Transfer
finely chopped nuts to a small bowl; set aside.

Divide chocolate mixture into 40 portions. Place a whole
cashew in the center of one of the portions; shape
chocolate mixture into a ball around cashew. Roll ball in
the chopped cashew mixture. Place on a baking sheet.

Repeat to make 40 truffles total. Cover and chill for at
least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Let stand at room
temperature for 30 minutes before serving. If desired,
serve in small paper candy cups.

SMART SWAP: Use almonds or pecans in place of the
cashews.
