Mmm, yum.
I recently made truffles for my dad… for this birthday (another instance of what do you give the man who has everything?). Dad grew up in Hawaii, so his was a special recipe and I will share it soon. Delicious, I tell you what – Hawaii = guava.
Dad’s truffles were adapted from my dark chocolate apricot truffle recipe, which is another favorite around here, they do not last long.
spabettie is featured in another cookbook – my dark chocolate apricot truffles will be in the upcoming Foodie cookbook that focuses on ‘back to school’ and recipes that are easy, tasty and kid-friendly.

Dipping any balls in dark chocolate is a GREAT idea!!

My sweet tooth has been out of control lately so these would not last long in my house! I think I could eat a hundred of these, no problem. Plus I love apricots – double whammy!
apricots are one of my favorites… dipping them in chocolate? OOH yeah!

Wow these look awesome – I love how there are only a handful of ingredients!

These are beautiful and I love that they are so healthy. I have a feeling I would need to at least double or triple the recipe in my house!
Have a beautiful weekend.
