How to Make Toasted Almond Truffles
- In a small, heavy-duty saucepan, combine 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for exactly 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Add 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
- Once firm, using a small spoon or cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the truffles in 1/2 cup of toasted, slivered almonds.
- Place the truffles on a parchment-lined plate, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
