I’ve always wanted to make truffles. They look so easy to whip up and they are oh so delicious. I have a serious sweet tooth. Dinner isn’t complete unless there is something sweet at the end of the meal. I don’t think I’ve had fruity truffles, I know I will love them. Thanks for the recipe Janine, and Happy Holidays!
Janine says
Aw you are so welcome and hope you can try these truffles soon. Happy Holidays to you, too Mary 🙂
