Ingredients:
For the Truffle Filling:
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
8 oz dark chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped (for coating)

For Garnish:
Extra orange zest (optional)
Sprinkles of edible gold dust or colored sugar (optional, for added flair)
Instructions:
Prepare the Truffle Filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate) until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add Flavorings: Stir in the unsalted butter, fresh orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. The citrusy orange cream flavor should begin to blend beautifully with the creamy white chocolate.
