boozy black + white truffles

boozy truffles

so much fun

going to a party?

bring your boozy truffles

forgot to make your eldest aunt valentines day treats?

give her boozy truffles and she will forget all about those missing vday treats

wanna be the most awesome friend ever?

make your bestie boozy truffles and bring a bottle of champagne along

you get the point - boozy truffles are pretty awesome

they are made even better with not one type of chocolate but three!

i have been waiting for vegan white chocolate forever and a day

well finally i treated myself to 3 bags from amazon - woot woot

not only are these truffles encased with white chocolate goodness they are filled with dried plums, hazelnuts, double dutch dark cocoa & frangelico

ah-maz-ing

chocolate pieces are melted then mixed with powdered sugar, a splash of almond milk, a pinch of sugar and the goodness i mentioned above

then rolled by the teaspoon into cute little truffle bites

white chocolate is melted in a double boiler

the little truffle bites are rolled in the white chocolate

giving you a fantastic boozy black & white truffle

for a little added goodness a bit more chocolate is drizzled over the top

or top with chocolate jimmies or nuts

whatever you're feeling that day go for it

packaged in a cute little box they make a perfect hostess gift

you could totally make these before the party; just be sure to make them before your mani

unless you are going for the chocolate mud palm look

your host will think you bought these from a super trendy chocolate shoppe

how special will they feel when you tell them you made them just for them

pretty darn special

at least that's how i would feel if one of my chicas made these for me

'cause the boys would just bring the booze minus the truffles

that's how the boys in my life roll- they don't bake much, that is unless i am baking with them

make these for the super special people in your life

make these and they might just confuse with miss Martha herself

 

i made a batch of these for my aunts, cousins and gram

every year i make valentines day treats for the extra special people in  my life

this year i dropped the ball and it was noticed

whoops - these truffles were kinda like make-up truffles

you could totally swap the hazelnuts for almonds, the frangelico for almond extract

this a very versatile recipe - short on dried plums, leave em' out

or add another dried fruit like cherries

so rich and tasty only one or two of these are sure to satisfy the sweetest of sweet tooth's
