FRUIT AND NUT TRUFFLES (SUGARPLUMS)
This recipe is from "Making great candy" cookbook. This is not a confectionary item, more like a fruit mince truffle. They are delicious and remind you of Christmas, a simple homemade gift idea. If no food processor is available to you, use a large bowl and metal spoon, be sure to chop all you ingredients very small. I like to use kitchen sheers rather than a knife for dried fruit, which can be sticky and stick to the knife.

APRICOT ALMOND TRUFFLES
This supposed to be a healthy alternative to traditional candy. This recipe uses dried apricots which are high in fiber. Almonds have many health benefits and the dark chocolate has antioxidants. So this is not candy at all - it's healthfood! Recipe adapted from Ellie Krieger.

White chocolate and apricot complement each other perfectly. The addition of apricot brandy or Cointreau gives these truffles a special zip.

Steps:
- Place 2 tablespoons of the water and the brandy in a 1-quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the chopped apricots, cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let stand until the liquid is absorbed (about 30 minutes).
- Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water. Add 8 ounces of the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons water, and stir frequently with a rubber spatula to ensure even melting. When the mixture is smooth, remove from the heat and transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy and cooled to room temperature (about 3 minutes). Stir in the chopped apricots, cover, and refrigerate until firm but not stiff (3 to 4 hours).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. With a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop out small mounds of the mixture. Dust your hands with confectioners' sugar and roll the mounds into 1-inch balls. These will be the truffle centers. Cover the truffle centers with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 2 hours or in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
- Remove the truffle centers from the freezer and bring to cool-room temperature so the outer coating won't crack when they are dipped. Line another baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Melt and temper the remaining 1 pound chocolate (see pages 25-30). Place a truffle center into the tempered chocolate, coating it completely. With a dipper or fork, remove the center from the chocolate, carefully shake off the excess chocolate, and turn the truffle out onto the paper. After dipping 4 truffles, place a sliver of dried apricot on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets up.
- Let the truffles set up at room temperature, or chill them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. When the truffles are set, place them in paper candy cups. In a tightly covered container wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil, the truffles will keep for 1 month in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. The truffles are best served at room temperature.
- Instead of dipping the truffle centers in chocolate, roll them in finely chopped, toasted pistachio nuts as soon as they are formed into balls.
- White Chocolate Pear Truffles: Substitute dried pears and Poire Williams pear brandy for the apricots and apricot brandy.
