NO POLL TAX IN TEXAS 
Truffles
Makes 16 truffles

Nothing is sweeter than the right to vote in a free country.


8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Dutch-processed cocoa powder for rolling

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized glass bowl. Set aside. Heat the butter and cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just boiling. 

Immediately pour cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth.  If the chocolate doesn't melt completely, place in the microwave for about 20 seconds and stir until completely melted.  Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Use a #70 scoop to measure out chocolate mixture by round tablespoonfuls; coat with cocoa powder.  Place on a parchment lined tray; cover and refrigerate until firm.  Enjoy with a glass of red wine!
