Instructions
Melt milk chocolate. Cool to at least 98°.

Add whipped cream to the warm chocolate, a little at a time, stirring with a spoon.
When all chocolate is added, stir in salt and vanilla.
Chill in refrigerator until mixture is firm but not stiff (5-20 minutes).
Beat with a spoon only until fluffy. Do not over beat.
Follow instructions for dipped or molded truffles below or truffle sandwiches.
FOR SCOOPED & DIPPED TRUFFLES: After the truffle mixture has chilled 5-20 minutes, use a cookie scoop to achieve consistently shaped balls. Chill the scoops in the refrigerator for an hour or two. Remove from refrigerator and roll into balls.
