Luscious Chocolate Truffles -- Mary Crafts

We served our decadent truffles along side fresh strawberries at one of our recent events. Delicious!

Hi dearest friends! Nothing says “LOVE” like chocolate and these are the easiest chocolate treats out there.  Truffles are a snap to make and I like to eliminate the step of dipping them so you just have a silky smooth mouthful of decadence! These truffles were designed to melt at body temperature so use your imagination for all sorts of wild romantic uses on Valentine’s Day. Here’s wishing all of you the most romantic Valentine’s filled with scrumptious food and love. Hugs, Mary
