A spiced dark chocolate truffle rolled in crushed milk chocolate M&M®s makes a perfect holiday treat (or if you’re like me a Tuesday afternoon treat).

This post is made possible by American Heritage Historic Chocolate (a division of the Mars company). Thanks for supporting my blog and it’s sponsors.

Now that it’s holiday season we can start thinking about all the yummy candies and treats that we can make.  Truffles are one of my very favorite chocolate treats in the world.  Basically a truffle is chocolate and cream rolled in something yummy.  If you’re a die-hard chocolate fan, you can’t get much better than that.

What makes a good truffle is, of course, good chocolate!  Have you heard of American Heritage Historic Chocolate before?  They are a division of the Mars company (m&m’s®, Snickers®, Dove®, Mars®, Milky Way®, Twix®, etc.). They make chocolate that is based on a recipe from the 1750s.  It’s the chocolate our ancestors would have eaten!  It’s made with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives. It’s a dark chocolate (63% cacao) that is mildly spicy and slightly sweet.  The chocolate is blended with spices available during colonial times such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chili pepper, orange, anise and vanilla.  If you’re a fan of dark chocolate and spiced chocolate you will definitely like this!

Recipe for Spiced Chocolate Truffles
Rolled in Crushed M&M®s 
Makes 12
truffles
1 (6 oz) American
Heritage Historic Chocolate
 Chocolate
Block
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup M&M®s
1.  In a food processor or blender
crush the M&M®s until they are half chocolate dust and half little candy
pieces.  Set aside.  Chop or grate the chocolate block into very
small pieces.
2.  In a glass bowl, microwave the
cream for 1 minute.  Add the chocolate into the cream and stir until the
chocolate is all melted.  If the chocolate doesn’t get all melted by the
warm cream then stick the bowl into the microwave for about 30 seconds.
 Stir until creamy and smooth.  
3.  Smooth the chocolate over with a
spatula and place in the fridge.  In 45 minutes check the chocolate.
 It should be pliable and cold and easy to work with and shape.  If
it’s not to that state yet let it chill in the fridge longer.  If it’s too
hard let it sit out for a few minutes to soften up.
4.  Using a small cookie scoop, scoop
out the chocolate and roll into a ball.  Roll into the crushed M&M®s
and place on a parchment lined plate or cookie sheet.  Repeat this step
until all the chocolate has been used.  Place truffles in the fridge and
let harden for about 30 minutes.  Eat and enjoy!
