Make Jack Daniels Truffles

Consider making a double batch of Jack Daniels truffles, because they're so good, they'll disappear in a hurry. The Jack Daniels whiskey combined with the rich sweetness of the chocolate truffles will make this a dessert to be remembered. You'll be surprised how easy they are.


Instructions


1. Melt the butter and semisweet chocolate over low heat in a heavy saucepan, stirring often until the mixture is melted and smooth.


2. Stir the crushed ginger wafer cookies and the Jack Daniels whiskey into the melted chocolate mixture.


3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and put it in the refrigerator to chill covered for 45 minutes.


4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and drop the truffles in balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, leaving a space between truffles. Freeze the baking sheet for 15 minutes.


5. Sift the unsweetened cocoa and the powdered sugar in a pie plate. Remove the truffles from the freezer and roll them individually in the cocoa mixture.


6. Place the truffles in an airtight container and store them in the freezer or the refrigerator.


7. Serve the Jack Daniels truffles at room temperature.
