5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips, or preference)
2 Tbsp heavy cream
⅓ tsp orange extract
sugar, cocoa, or orange sugar for dusting (to make orange sugar, mix 3 Tbsp. sugar with zest from ¼-½ an orange)

In a microwave safe bowl, add the 5oz of chocolate and the 2 Tbsp of heavy cream. Microwave for about 30 seconds on high, or until chocolate and cream are heated through. Do not overheat.
Mix together until cream is incorporated, making a creamy and smooth chocolate.
Add the ½ tsp orange extract and stir until combined.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm but pliable, similar to a soft fudge consistency.
[Optional] Make orange sugar by mixing together 3 Tbsp. of sugar and zest from ¼-½ an orange. Use a fork or a single chopstick to stir and break apart any clumps of zest.
On a small plate, or in a small dish, pour out your coating of choice: cocoa powder, sugar, or orange sugar.
Taking two spoons, drop approx. 1 Tbsp of firmed chocolate mixture into the coating and toss to cover. Roll the truffle into a ball between your two hands. Dust your hands with cocoa powder or sugar to help with sticking.
