 Ingredients:
3/4 cup heavy cream 5 ounces milk chocolate, chopped 5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped 3 tablespoons of your favorite cabernet sauvignon sprinkles or cocoa powder for rolling Directions:Add chopped chocolate to a large bowl. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. The minute it starts boiling, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Add wine. Let sit for 3 minutes, then whisk continuously until smooth. Press a piece of plastic wrap over top of the bowl and press down so it adheres to the chocolate. Refrigerate for at least two hours (or overnight - perfect!), then using a small melon baller or spoon, scoop chocolate out and roll them into balls, placing on a sheet of wax paper. Roll the truffles in cocoa or sprinkles, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.These are best cold, but they can sit out at room temperature for a few hours too. I do keep them refrigerated when not serving.  Ingredients:
