Truffles are easy, I make them at work on slow days and they've been a hit. I played around with my recipie a bit and came up with this.

2 Cups chocolate chips.
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup rasberry jam.

Fill a sauce pan with an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place your chocolate chips in a metal mixing bowl that's a little bit wider than the sauce pan and nest it on top so the steam melts the chocolate. When all the chocolate is melted, stir in the heavy cream and rasberry jam. Stir for a few minutes as it takes a little bit for everything to combine nicely. Take the bowl off the heat and cool it in the refrigerator. When it's cold, you should have chocolate that is stiff but workable, and will be soft and hold it's shape at room temperature.
