"These delectable chocolate truffles are made with Irish cream and are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Roll in melted chocolate, finely chopped nuts, or cocoa powder for a finishing touch."
1Whisk heavy cream and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the edges of the cream show fine bubbles but mixture does not boil, allowing sugar to dissolve. Remove from heat.
2Whisk butter, chocolate chips, and Irish cream into cream mixture until butter and chocolate chips are melted. Cool to room temperature.
3Scoop up the chocolate mixture about 1 tablespoon at a time and roll into a 1-inch ball; set truffles on a plate.
4Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
