Hotel Chocolat sent me some 40% milk chocolate drops and some white chocolate drops to play with. Knowing how much my older sister loves Hotel Chocolat chocolate I thought I would make some chocolate truffles to sit on my Winter Woodland dessert table. I started off with rich milk chocolate ones, then went onto mixing other flavours in them like the delicious Baileys ones and seasonal toffee apple ones.

Then it was time to turn my attention to the white chocolate drops! I again started off with simply indulgent plain white chocolate ones, then as my favourite fudge flavour is lemon meringue I thought I would try lemon meringue truffles. They taste delicious and I am so happy with how they turned out.

Have a sweet day!
