Recipe for chocolate truffles

February 26, 2015 By The Skinny Cook NOT Paleo Leave a Comment

Prepare this easy recipe for chocolate truffles so you will enjoy the best Belgian chocolate truffles: much cheaper and more delicious than the chocolates you buy in the shop.

This recipe contains added sugar, hence surely not paleo!

What are the best Belgian chocolates…? Almond Truffles! I prefer a basic chocolate with some almonds or any nuts for that matter, so when you want something else than your typical store bought hazelnut chocolates, do prepare the easy chocolate truffle recipe below.

Chocolate truffles are bite-sized sweet to which a lot of flavourings can be added: from liqueurs to essences to honey…

The recipe below goes back to basics with almonds as added flavour. This is exactly how my grandma prepared them.
