It's Christmas time again and as usual I have had the food processor out, busily whizzing up Chocolate Truffles on the kitchen bench. Batches and batches of them. It was the summer of 1994 when I first came across this recipe in a New Zealand Food Plus magazine... You know, one of those free ones which accompany the weekend newspaper.
Although the magazine looks very dated now, the Truffles taste
so good that I've kept referring back to it at Christmas for close to 20 years. This recipe calls for Brandy and walnut, however I often omit the walnuts altogether; or add apricots soaked in Brandy or raisins soaked in honey rum.
They are the perfect Christmas gift, either wrapped in cellophane with ribbon or in boxed in muffin cases... They are also the perfect thing just to have in the fridge for when you're passing by searching for a late night snack!
Merry Christmas!!
