Chocolate Cranberry Truffles

Here is one I like during the holiday season:

Chocolate Cranberry Truffles

9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 cup Ocean Spray® Jellied Cranberry Sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  1. Place chocolate, cranberry sauce and heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce is smooth, whisking frequently. Remove from heat and pour into a glass or plastic bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature to thicken.
  2. Combine cocoa and 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar on a small plate. Scoop out a rounded teaspoonful of chocolate mixture. Roll in cocoa, coating throroughly. Dust hands with powdered sugar. Roll truffle in hands to form a 1-inch ball. Continue forming truffles with remaining chocolate mixture.

Makes 30 truffles.
