Sprinkle-Covered Chocolate Truffles

Allergen Warning

• This recipe contains milk products (butter and heavy cream) and tree nuts (almonds). Ensure all allergen-aware friends know before they grab a truffle. Store allergen-free portions in separate sealed containers to keep everyone safe.

Cooking Temperature

• Adults only: When melting butter with heavy cream on the stovetop, use medium-low heat and stir constantly until smooth. Never leave the saucepan unattended on a hot burner.

Handling

• Let the hot ganache cool for the full 10 minutes before handling. Test temperature with a clean finger before kids scoop and roll the chilled ganache into balls.

Cross Contamination

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water between handling different coatings. If making separate allergen-free batches, use clean bowls, spoons, and work surfaces for each version.

Storage

• Store finished truffles in a covered container in the refrigerator at 40°F or below. Place dairy-containing truffles separate from allergen-free items if storing together.

Shelf Life

• Consume truffles within 3 days for best quality and food safety. Check for off smells or texture changes before serving leftovers.

Equipment Safety

• Adults handle all stovetop cooking. If chopping almonds for coating, adults use a food processor or sharp knife. Kids roll ganache with clean hands or food-safe gloves only.
