These truffles are simply divine and are CHOCfull of goodness. They are vegan, dairy free and can be made without any added sugar or simply with a natural sweetener for those who want a bit of sweetness in their lives. One of my favourite recipes and great to give away as gifts or to indulge in anytime of the day.
