Ingredients

1 12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoon coffee granules
⅓ cup creamer
Colored sugar sprinkles, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, for rolling

Instructions

Prepare a 9×9 pan by lightly greasing it with coconut oil.
On the stove top over medium heat, whisk together the creamer and coffee granules until warm. Add the chocolate and whisk until very smooth.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
Remove the chocolate from the refrigerator and let set for 10-15 minutes. Pour your toppings for rolling into deep cereal bowls.
Using a spoon, scoop some of the chocolate mixture and use your hands to roll into a ball. These are so rich, so I like to make mine just shy of an inch-round.
Roll the truffles into your topping of choice. Set them into festive candy papers or mini cupcake papers.
Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve or gift them. They will keep for about 7-10 days.
This recipe makes about 30 truffles, so one batch can be packaged up for several gifts. I like to use small candy boxes and decorate it with a festive ribbon.

Notes

What are the best toppings?

Traditionally, truffles are rolled in cocoa powder, but festive sprinkles make these Mocha Truffles so pretty. You can also use a variety of other ingredients such as chopped nuts, crushed candies, or toasted coconut.

chopped toasted nuts - adds a crunchy bite to the candy
powdered sugar - will make them melt in your mouth!
cocoa powder - for deep richness
colored sprinkles - customizable for the holiday or event!
