Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream to a boil over high heat. Pour cream over chocolate and stir gently until completely smooth. Let rest for a minute, then stir in butter, two pieces at a time. Stir in orange extract. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Check after 1 hour. When mixture is cold and stiff but not hardened, stir in Rice Krispies.

  2. Step 2

    Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place coconut in a wide shallow bowl. Spoon up a scant tablespoonful of chocolate mixture and drop into the coconut. Roll to shape into a ball as you coat it with coconut. It doesn't need to be perfectly round. Continue with remaining chocolate. Place each coated truffle on baking sheet. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Can I use orange juice instead of extract? I generally don't like the taste of any extract except vanilla.

If you have a tablespoon of Grand Marnier sitting around, use that.
