Raise your hand if you like homemade chocolate truffles. I absolutely adore making homemade truffles, I can think of quite a few good reasons why making homemade chocolate truffles is fun, and here’s just a few :
1. Make a double batch, put a dozen of them into a beautiful box, tie a nice ribbon and it would make a perfect gift for your family member , or a friend .
2. Get the kids, and husband of course to join you in the kitchen to roll the truffles, lick spoon and bowl with chocolate leftovers and it would become a great weekend family tradition.
3. Can’t decide which sweets to get from the store? Make chocolate truffles at home and enjoy them daily or when you have a sweet craving.
4. Do you enjoy making everything from scratch? Perfect! You will absolutely love making these treats for your family.
