Super Bowl Chocolate Beer Pretzel Truffles

Here's a great recipe for Super Bowl Sunday. These Truffles contain all the Football Food Groups: Chocolate, Beer & Pretzels (or nuts). These Chocolate Beer Pretzel Truffles are rolled in Crushed Pretzels, but you can use Crushed Peanuts or Crushed Beer Nuts. If you're a purist, you can always roll them in cocoa!

CHOCOLATE BEER PRETZEL TRUFFLES

Ingredients
3/4 cup Beer (Guinness or another Beer you favor)
1 pound dark chocolate (65-75% cacao)--I really like to use Guittard Chocolate in my truffles
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Crushed salted pretzels

Directions
Melt chocolate in top of double boiler or saucepan over saucepan with simmering water.
Stir in cream.
Slowly add Guinness, stirring to blend.
Cover and chill overnight.
Shape mixture into 3/4 inch balls using small scoop or melon baller or your hands - using about tablespoon of ganache for each.
Roll in crushed Salted Pretzels (or crushed peanuts or beer nuts).
