Well, that's better, but I still think you should use MORE CREAM!! <G>

For 2.5 lbs, I would use 15 ounces, or 1 cup 7 ounces. Call it 2 cups.

Sorry, my math was off. 1 cup 6 ounces. You could still call it 2 cups,
especially if you aren't adding butter.

I have used too much cream in the past. Makes 'em too melty. I like a
truffle that will hold up a little, and make ya work for the
payoff! ;-)

Trust me, the 6 oz per pound of chocolate (plus some butter) will not be
runny or mushy. It will be succulent.
