Homemade Truffles for Valentine’s Day.
One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day is that it’s a great opportunity to make some special desserts! One dessert I never get to make often enough is truffles! Of course, I’m talking about chocolate truffles, not mushroom truffles. Chocolate truffles are a delicious treat at any time of year, but can also be an easy way to make a sweet pink treat to serve to your favorite person on Valentine’s Day. Here is my recipe for Lovely Valentine’s Day Oreo Truffles!
