CHOCOLATE FUDGE TRUFFLES

Truffle Fudge Recipe

3 c Semisweet chocolate chips
1 c Vanilla chips OR -More chocolate chips*
1/4 c Butter
3 c Powdered sugar
1 c Bailey's Irish Creme
1/2 c Chopped nuts; optional



TRUFFLE TOPPING

1 c Semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c Vanilla chips OR -More chocolate chips*
2 tb Butter; cut in pieces
4 tb Bailey's Irish Creme

*Using all semisweet chocolate will yield a deeper, darker fudge.

FUDGE: Melt all chips with butter until they are soft enough to stir smooth. Do not overheat. Add chocolate/butter mixture to powdered sugar and Baileys. Stir until smooth. Add nuts, if desired. Mix well. Place fudge in an 8-inch square pay sprayed with vegetable spray. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top and gently press to smooth fudge.

TOPPING: Melt chips until smooth. Remove from heat. With a fork, beat in butter and Bailey's until smooth. Spread topping over fudge with a knife. If a very smooth top is desired, use a piece of plastic as done on fudge. Refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours. Can be frozen. Makes 64 pieces.
