   • In a medium saucepan, bring unsalted butter and heavy whipping cream to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
   • Once boiled, remove the mixture from heat.

2. Add Flavorings:

   • Stir in the chopped semisweet chocolate, orange liqueur, and orange zest until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture turns smooth and velvety.

3. Chill the Mixture:

   • Transfer the truffle mixture into a shallow bowl or a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
   • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it firms up, which usually takes about 2 hours.

4. Shape the Truffles:

   • Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper.
   • Using rounded teaspoons, shape the chilled truffle mixture into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
   • Chill the shaped truffles again until they firm up, approximately 30 minutes.

5. Coat the Truffles:

   • In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water (not boiling), melt the semisweet chocolate chips along with the vegetable oil, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy.
   • Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

6. Dip and Chill:

   • Drop the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Using two forks, lift out the coated truffles, tapping gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
   • Place the coated truffles back onto the baking sheets lined with waxed paper.
   • Chill the truffles once again until the chocolate coating sets.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve these delectable Chocolate Orange Truffles on a decorative platter or package them in pretty boxes for gifting.
• Enjoy them as a luxurious after-dinner treat or share them with friends and family during special occasions and celebrations.

Storage:

• Store the Chocolate Orange Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, although they are best enjoyed fresh.
