holiday baking = great christmas gifts for family & friends
Too many days of work plus endless bottles of Proseco from Trader Joe's and I start to think I'm a baker.

hazelnut chocolate truffles

Chocolate truffles are so much fun to make! All you need is vegan chocolate chips, earth balance and your favorite liquor or flavored Italian syrup. I used hazelnut syrup this time around but next time I'm using rum... Melt the chocolate in a double boiler then blend in earth balance and liquor. I used 1/3 cup but might experiment with more next time. Let cool in fridge - when it's firm enough to work with start rolling in balls. Your hands will be covered in chocolate! I rolled mine in chopped almonds and cocoa powder. It might also be fun to roll them in shaved coconut...
