I want to discuss how yum and delicious truffles can really be.  I never realized how easy they were to make until I decided to make some for the holidays.  I rolled mine in a few different things like, crushed candy canes, chopped pecan pieces and good ol fashion cocoa powder.  Let’s just say that before I even started rolling these babies into truffle balls I was having a hard enough time not eating the entire chocolate cream cheese mixture… It was that good!

 

These truffles would make a great addition for any teacher holiday gifts this week, which by the way will be combined with Homemade Hot Chocolate!

 

mmmm…. Yum!
