I’ve been obsessed with truffles this holiday season.
I can’t help it. They are beautiful. Delicious. And easy to eat! Plus, there are so many flavor possibilities!
These almond truffles are one of my absolute favorites. The rich chocolate almond center, surrounded by crunchy almonds then dipped for a crunchy white chocolate coating…yes please!

truffles are popping up everywhere! I need to get my hands dirty and make some
this looks great — the combination of rich chocolate and almonds are so good sounding!
I like to make truffles too! I think it is because they are so much smaller so I think that I can eat twice as many and not feel guilty:-) I love the red and green drizzle on these…so festive!
So pretty!! Love the green and red! Thanks for linking up to 2 Maids a Baking!!
Oh my gosh! So delicious. You’re killing me this week. Thanks for linking to Crazy Sweet Tuesday!

Yum! I’ve never made truffles before, but you make it seem easy. Your look so beautiful!
Your truffles are gorgeous and festive. I love truffles. I am not feeling any guilt until the 26 th. wish I could enjoy a few of these.
I had just been wondering if freezing truffles would allow me to do the melted chocolate coating. These truffles look amazing and I see you have other truffle variations on your site as well!
yum, I love truffles!
