Melt in Your Mouth Chocolate Truffles

12 ounces milk chocolate
1/3 cup light cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening
cooking spray

Cover a baking sheet with wax paper, and spray paper with nonstick cooking spray. Melt milk chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.

Stir in the cream and vanilla. Spoon tablespoon-sized scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.

Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in shortening.

Roll each piece of chilled chocolate into a ball. Use a spoon to dip chocolate balls into the melted chocolate chip mixture.

Return truffles to baking sheet, and chill until firm.
