Chocolate Truffles

1/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
pinch of salt
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

HEAT the cream over low heat. Add the chocolate
and butter, and stir until melted. Add the salt.
Pour the mixture into a pie plate or other flat
dish and chill for about 2 hours, until firm but
still soft. Using a teaspoon or small
melon-baller and your fingers, form small balls
and roll them in the sifted cocoa powder.
Refrigerate until firm. For a nice touch, place
the truffles into foil candy cups. Makes 1-1/2 dozen.
