Christmas Truffles


Well, here's another YUMMIE Christmas recipe that has become a 'must have' in our home. These come directly from one of thefamilyroom kitchen's.......Sam's kitchen and we all know anything that comes from Sam's kitchen is simple delightful.

Actually this another Christmas request from my children. Sam and her family will be joining ours and the Dell's for a white Christmas this year and last week I emailed Sam asking her if she would prepare these when we get together ~~ the request came straight from my children and you gotta trust the kids because they truly know what's good and what's not when it comes to Christmas treats!

So, without anything more here's the recipe for everyone to enjoy and share......BTW these, along with Jo's Christmas cookies make and excellent gift for anyone. Pop them in a little box with tissue or a Christmas tin and the perfect, cost effective gift is ready to GIVE.

Just got in after our Family Room Christmas party and had one (or maybe two!) of Sam's truffles. They look and taste amazing. I can't wait to make them. Thanks Sam x

Just a note. You will need more than 100g of dark chocolate. More like 500g. Must have been a typo.

But finally I set this locate selling them as a remedy for half price. I in reality love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url].
