I realize I should make something savory for you. I promise I don’t just make desserts. But desserts are more fun to make, more fun to eat and they photograph a lot easier than brown rice with brown gravy.

This recipe can be made ahead and perfect to serve for a crowd.

Additionally, you can coat them in whatever you like best.

Let’s just go with desserts once or twice… or a dozen more times for the holidays, k?

Truffles are elegant for gift-giving. My Best Dark Chocolate Truffles Recipeย has only 3 ingredients plus whatever you decide to top them with. I like toย chill the mixture in the refrigerator a few hours, this way you get a smooth, firm ball to dip in the chocolate.

It’s easier if you use a small spring-release scoop or melon baller and scoop small balls. Then simply roll in your choice of coating: chocolate (white or dark), coconut, chopped nuts, toffee, peppermint, sprinkles (ohhhh chocolate and sprinkles, swoon!) cocoa, or confectioners sugar. The possibilities are endless.
