This is a basic truffle filling to which you can add your own flavorings or extracts. You may use this to fill chocolate shells you make using candy molds or roll into balls then into powdered sugar, cocoa, sprinkles or other toppings.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chocolate and cream. Cook, stirring, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in flavoring, if desired.
Pour into a small dish and refrigerate until set, but not hard-approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Form balls and roll in toppings. Work as fast as you can, because the heat of your hands will start to melt the truffle. After shaping, put back into the refrigerator to firm.
