Place your chocolate in a medium sized bowl and set aside. Heat the heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove until just heated through, about 1 minute. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate, making sure all of the chocolate is covered, then do not stir for 1 minute. This allows the hot cream to start to melt the chocolate and give it a smooth texture. Once the mixture has sat for 1 minute, whisk together until completely combined. Pour your ganache into a 9x9” pan (or quarter sheet pan) so that it forms a thin layer. This way it will chill quicker, and will be easier to scoop into truffles once cooled. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap touching the ganache. Place in the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. Using a small, 1” cookie scoop, scoop the ganache into small balls. If dipping in melted chocolate, place in the refrigerator again for 10 minutes to re-harden the chocolate. If not, roll the scooped truffles in desired toppings. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.Kids Truffles with Chef Lindsey
