      Title: Chocolate-Cashew Truffles
 Categories: Five, Chocolate, Nuts, Dairy
      Yield: 20 Servings
 
      8 oz Bittersweet chocolate;
           - chopped
    1/2 c  Half & half, light cream,
           - or whole milk
      1 tb Pure maple syrup
    3/4 c  Whole unsalted cashews
    1/4 ts Coarse salt
 
  Place chocolate in a medium bowl; set aside. In a small
  saucepan bring half-and-half just to boiling; pour over
  chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Stir in maple
  syrup. Cover; freeze about 2 hours or until firm.
  
  Meanwhile, Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Place cashews in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 8 to 10
  minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Set aside 40
  whole cashews. In a food processor combine the remaining
  cashews and the salt. Cover and process with several
  on/off pulses until nuts are finely chopped. Transfer
  finely chopped nuts to a small bowl; set aside.
  
  Divide chocolate mixture into 40 portions. Place a whole
  cashew in the center of one of the portions; shape
  chocolate mixture into a ball around cashew. Roll ball in
  the chopped cashew mixture. Place on a baking sheet.
  
  Repeat to make 40 truffles total. Cover and chill for at
  least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Let stand at room
  temperature for 30 minutes before serving. If desired,
  serve in small paper candy cups.
  
  SMART SWAP: Use almonds or pecans in place of the
  cashews.
