I had some butterscotch chips left over from my Apple Pie Butterscotch Bars and Apple Cinnamon White Chocolate Chip Scones so I decided to make some truffles!! I’ve been wanting to make dark chocolate truffles for the longest time, so these were a little experiment. They came out so incredibly rich and creamy and I didn’t even use cream like traditional truffles. You only need to indulge in one and your sweet craving will be gone (for a few hours if you’re like me). The unsweetened cocoa powder on the outside is the perfect balance to the sweet interior. These are perfect with a glass of wine after dinner! Now I’m so excited to create more truffle recipes!
