Notes
I like to experiment with different toppings for a fun twist. Sprinkles add a bit of crunch, or you can drizzle dark chocolate for a richer taste.
If you’re short on time, you can freeze the truffles instead of refrigerating to speed things up.
Remember, the key is to let them chill so they hold their shape beautifully. 💡
