Truffle LOVE!

Orange Truffles

3 cups plus 2 T semi-sweet choc chips, divided
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 T butter (no substitutes)
1 tsp Orange Extract
2 T Shortening
1/3 cup vanilla chips
1 tsp shortening
Few drops of Orange food coloring (make sure this is in the house b/c Mother doesn't have it!! :)

Place 1 cup plus 2 T choc chips in a blender or food processor; cover and process until crushed, about 30 seconds. In a bowl, heat cream and butter on high for 30-90 seconds or until almost boiling. While blender or processor is running, gradually pour cream mixture and extract over chips in a steady stream until smooth. Cover and freeze for 20 - 30 minutes or until firm. Roll into 1 inch balls (they will be kind of mushy). In bowl, heat shortening and remaining choc chips on high for 45 seconds; stir. Microwave in 10-20 second intervals until melted; stir until smooth. Dip truffles; place on waxed paper lined baking sheet to harden. In another bowl heat vanilla chips and shortening. Add orange food coloring and drizzle over truffles.
Beautimus!! :)

**if for some reason it says choc chops it is supposed to say choc chips b/c I type chops every time and then go back and erase it and change it to chips (I JUST DID IT). With out fail, I always do it.***
