Chocolate Truffles

add some whipped cream and sit in front of a fireplace and enjoy

These are so dreamy, they just melt in your mouth. One bite of these and you are in chocolate heaven for sure.The candy cane version is my favorite flavor; even do I am not a big fan of candy cane but together with truffles and using tiny candy cane crush it makes it just so memorable.There is also a raspberry version, that is so fresh and delightful in taste, I am sure you are going to love this.
