How to Make Toasted Almond Truffles

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