Chocolate Caramel Bonbon Truffles

Friday February 3, 2012

People are always impressed by truffles. It seems like you must be a master pastry chef to make these. In reality, it is quite simple to make amazingly delicious truffles like these. Start with high quality ingredients and you're half way to perfection. This recipe starts with caramel you make yourself, followed by the addition of both dark and milk chocolates. Refrigerate, scoop and roll. Done. It's as simple as that.
