Suggestions

  • Make them your own. 
    • Use cashews or hazelnuts in place of the almonds for a different flavor and texture.
    • Experiment with PSC spices to create spiced chocolate truffle flavor variations.
  • Save some for later. Store leftovers in an airtight container. These truffles will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. For an even longer shelf life, store them in the freezer.
