Gingerbread Truffles

Directions

1. 1
   Pour chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
2. 2
   In a saucepan over medium heat bring cream just to a boil. Pour cream over chocolate and stir until smooth. Add ginger and cinnamon. Mix until combined.
3. 3
   Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Chill for one hour or place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Put your crushed gingerbread cookies into a shallow bowl and set aside.
4. 4
   Using a metal tablespoon or scoop, scoop and shape the chocolate into balls. You can use your hands to roll them into balls if you want a perfectly round truffle. You'll have to work quickly as the chocolate will melt.
5. 5
   Roll the balls in the crushed gingerbread men. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed plastic container.
