The ingredients you need to prepare. Six ounces chocolate, semi sweet and chopped, use white chocolate as an alternative. Two tablespoons butter, heavy cream one fourth cup, one cup chocolate or white chocolate chips semisweet, nuts and fruits finely chopped. Make sure you roast the nuts before chopping.

Steps. First, prepare a baking sheet by with aluminum foil. Then, in a saucepan, melt chocolate first, then put in the whipping cream and the butter next, make sure to stir it constantly. Once melted and smooth, pour it in another bowl and refrigerate for ten to fifteen minutes. Keep on stirring until it becomes thick.

Second, put teaspoonfuls of that mixture in the lined cookie sheet and refrigerate this again for five minutes, enough for the mixture to become firm for shaping afterwards. Once firm, shape into balls and freeze for thirty minutes. While waiting for your balls to freeze, melt shortening together with the chocolate chip in a low fire, keep on stirring until there are no lumps and smooth.

Preheat your oven into 350 degrees. In a baking sheet, spread pecans and bake it for about 8 to 10 mins, until they are toasted. Let it cool before finely chopping. Mix together chocolate, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Heat butter and cream in a saucepan, fire should be medium low. Pour your steaming hot butter and cream into the chocolate, then let it sit for about 10 mins.

Stir it until the chocolate will melt and the texture is smooth. Add pecans, prunes, and apricots, continue stirring. Transfer your mixture into a baking dish, set aside to cool. Once it cooled down, cover it with some plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator for about three hours until your mixture will harden, but soft enough for you to scoop. You can make the mixture in advance, that would be 2 days at least.

To make it look for decorative, drizzle some melted vanilla chips over your truffles. To make the drizzle, microwave one fourth cup of white chips in vanilla flavor. Microwave it until your chips are smooth enough. If you do not have a pipe, put the melted chips in a resealable food plastic bag and cut the corner.
