3-Ingredient Decadent Chocolate Truffles

by Nancy Reynolds December 18, 2017
2.8K

These melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles are not only insanely easy to make, everyone loves them (especially, of course, teens) and they’re so incredibly festive. Package them in a pretty holiday box with a ribbon and give them as gifts or bring them to a holiday gathering.  No one will ever believe they’re only a few simple ingredients!

I’ve been making these truffles nearly every holiday season since I was in my late teens!  This is one of those old-fashioned recipes that has withstood the test of time.  I love them because, well… they’re easy, but also because they’re fun to make and they’re pretty. You can spruce them up in a variety of ways by experimenting with different coatings and even tossing in a little liquor.

**This recipe yields a fairly large quantity of truffles, but you can create a variety of different flavors by rolling them in different coatings.  See my notes below for ideas!
