Hot Chocolate Truffles

Hot Chocolate Truffles

If you are a chocolate lover, you do not want to miss this recipe! First let me say that it is like heaven in my mouth. These are supposed to be made to put in a mug of milk and make into hot chocolate. Sure, you could use them for that…OR, you could eat them plain. I can’t help myself. The rich, fudgey goodness is calling to me.

And, with keeping with my motto, these are soooo easy to make. I whipped up this batch a few minutes before running out the door to get my kids from school. Threw them in the fridge, then formed the balls when I got home. Eazy peazy!

As you can see, I wanted a variety as I thought they were so cute, so I rolled in crushed candy canes which I used my food processor to crush, a few different sprinkles, and cinnamon. I think I will be giving these to the school teachers, what do you think?
