Recipe: Chocolate Whiskey Truffles ๐ซ๐ฅ
Description: These Chocolate Whiskey Truffles are a delightful treat that’s both easy to make and incredibly delicious. You’ll find yourself wanting to make a double batch because they disappear quickly! They can be stored in the freezer for a few months, but refrigerating them for up to a week maintains their freshness best. I recommend using “Slide” non-stick foil for easy handling.
