White Chocolate Apricot-Hazelnut Truffles
(makes 28 truffles)
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cuphazelnuts
1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots
24 ounces white chocolate
6 Tbl cream
INSTRUCTIONS
On a baking sheet, spread out 1 1/4 C hazelnuts. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until
nuts are light brown and the dark skins are cracked. Remove as much of the skins as possible
by rubbing nuts in a terrycloth towel. Finely chop nuts in a food processor.
In a 1 quart glass container, combine 12 ounces white chocolate, cut up, and 6 Tbl cream.
(Note: I used the Nestle white chocolate chips)
Microwave mixture on MEDIUM, 3 to 4 min. stirring twice, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Stir into melted chocolate 3/4 C of the chopped nuts and 1/4 C finely chopped dried apricots.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or until mixture is firm enough to hold its shape.
Roll into balls and refrigerate until firm.

We would like to invite you to make a comment on your personal experiences on being pregnant or becoming a parent. I have three children and have experienced three completely different pregnancies and births, from premature labor to caserean section. My first child arrived 6 weeks early and it was a very frightening experience after I started bleeding at 32 weeks. I was very unsure of what was happening and felt emotionally wrecked when I left hospital after giving birth to my beautiful little boy, without him. I felt very blessed to have him and after 3 long weeks of him staying in the special care unit, he was ready to come home. He hasn't looked back and is now over 6 feet at 14 years of age. So even though we had a shaky start, we are very fortunate to have a very healthy and happy child. I would love to hear your story and it may even help other women going through the same thing.
