3 cups plus 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips, divided
2/3 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
1 teaspoon orange extract

Instructions
Place 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate chips in a blender or food processor; cover and process until crushed, about 30 seconds. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat cream and butter on high for 1-2 minutes or until almost boiling.
While blender or processor is running, gradually pour cream mixture and extract over chips in a steady stream until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until firm. Roll into 1-inch balls.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat shortening and remaining chocolate chips on high for 1 minute; stir. Microwave in 10- to 20-second intervals until melted; stir until smooth. Dip truffles; place on waxed paper to harden.
