Making Christmas Truffles is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Cream: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
2. Combine Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Once the cream is hot, pour it over the chocolate.
3. Mix Until Smooth: Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then add vanilla extract and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until it’s firm enough to scoop.
5. Scoop and Roll: Using a small cookie scoop or a melon baller, scoop out portions of the ganache. Roll each portion into a ball shape using your hands.
6. Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or sprinkles to coat them evenly.
7. Drizzle with White Chocolate: If desired, melt white chocolate, and drizzle it over the truffles for a decorative touch.
8. Chill Again (Optional): Return the coated truffles to the fridge for about 20 minutes to set.
9. Serve: Now your Christmas Truffles are ready to be served, loved, and enjoyed!
