Very rich, easy to make, delicious truffles. I have never made the Rum Truffle option, so the instructions may be a bit skewed.

• 3 175g packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vanilla extract
• Finely chopped nuts, flaked coconut, chocolate sprinkles, sprinkles (optional)
• 50 ml (1/4 cup) dark rum (for Rum Truffles)
• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) rum extract (for Rum Truffles)

Directions

1. In a heavy saucepan over low heat melt chips with sweetened condensed milk.
2. Remove from heat
3. Stir in vanilla
4. Roll into balls
5. Chill
6. For Rum Truffles:
7. Stir in Rum and Rum extract instead of vanilla.
