Ingredients
2 ½cupspowdered sugar
1tub vanilla frosting with 2 Tablespoons maple syrup added
1Tablespoonmilk
3Tablespoonssolid shortening
1cupGhirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
6slicesmaple-flavored bacon - cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, milk, and prepared frosting Stir until well blended.
Roll the truffle filling into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cover and freeze for 20 minutes while preparing the chocolate coating. Chilling the truffle balls will make it easier to dip into the chocolate.
In a double boiler, melt the shortening over medium heat. (I've tried the microwave method with these chocolate chips but have found using a double boiler creates shinier, smoother chocolate).
Add the chocolate chips and stir occasionally until melted.
Pour melted chocolate into a small mixing bowl. Dip a truffle ball into the chocolate with the help of an inserted toothpick. Allow any excess chocolate to run off.
Gently place the chocolate-coated truffle back onto the cookie sheet and remove the toothpick.
Immediately sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crumbled bacon on top of the truffle before the chocolate hardens. Repeat with the remaining truffles.
