Instructions
1
In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, melt the white chocolate chips together with the heavy whipping cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
2
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
3
Transfer the mixture into a shallow pan to allow it to cool and set slightly. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight, until the mixture is firm but still pliable.
4
Once firm, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls between your palms. If needed, chill the balls again in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10-15 minutes to firm them up.
5
Melt the dark chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
6
Dip each chilled truffle into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll the coated truffles in festive candy sprinkles before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7
Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy these rich, buttery truffles as a perfect festive treat or gift!
