My Blogger Christmas List

I'm getting fully into the Christmas spirit and would like to involve Lucy in much holiday baking this year. My blogger Christmas list is for you to share what your favorite Christmas treat is and possibly a recipe if you have it. Here's mine:
Truffles:
16 squares of Baker's Bittersweet or Semisweet chocolate, divided
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts or crushed candy cane
Chop 8 chocolate squares; place in microwaveable bowl. Add cream and butter. Microwave on medium 1 1/2 minutes; stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
Shape into 24 balls. Place on wax paper covered tray.
Melt remaining chocolate. Use fork to dip truffles into melted chocolate. return to tray. Sprinkle with nuts, crushed candy cane or roll in icing sugar. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Yummy, yummy. I especially like it with the candy cane.
