Crunchy chocolate Hazelnut Truffles

Have you been looking for the perfect little something to make for your loved ones for Christmas this year? Or even a little something that you could have out as 'nibbles' when you have friends and family round for some festive fun? I got you...
I created these little chocolate truffles with those exact reasons in mind. You only need a few ingredients and if you ask me, Christmas isn't Christmas without some sort of chocolate truffle lying around, am I right?!
​

With the focus this Christmas very much on shop small, local, handmade and more sustainable Christmas gifts, these little truffles make the perfect small gift! Why spend a fortune on buying them when I promise you these taste absolutely delicious. We are fast becoming more aware of our impact on the planet and lots of us are making better choices when it comes to Christmas this year, so why not join those and create a little something full of love, and chocolate, for your friends and family.
